REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
   
 CAUTION
Do not remove the tape securing the crank angle sensor connector and control wiring harness, since the control wiring harness may contact the power steering oil pump pulley.
   
  1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise, align the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket to set No.1 cylinder to TDC of its compression stroke.
       
    1. Remove the timing belt under cover rubber plug and then set the special tool adjusting bolt (MD998738).
       CAUTION
      The special tool can be gradually installed at a rate of a 30 degree turn per second. If it is screwed in all at once, the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod will not easily retract and the special tool may bend.
       
    1. Screw in the special tool until it comes in contact with the timing belt tensioner arm.
         
      1. Secure the camshaft sprocket and valve timing belt with wiring bands to prevent slippage between the camshaft sprocket and valve timing belt.
         CAUTION
        Do not rotate the crankshaft after camshaft sprocket removal.
         
      1. Use the special tool below to remove the camshaft sprocket and the valve timing belt as an assembly.
        • Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767)
        • Pin (MD998719)
        Place the camshaft sprocket above the timing belt lower cover.
         
      Make mating marks on the radiator hose and the hose clamp. Disconnect the radiator hose.
         
      Using special tool cylinder head bolt wrench (MB991654), loosen the cylinder head bolts in two or three steps in the order of the numbers shown in the illustration.
      INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
         
      1. Assemble to the cylinder block so the cylinder head gasket identification mark "63" or "64" is at the top surface and on the exhaust side.
         
      1. Check that the nominal length of each cylinder head bolt meets the limit. If it exceeds the limit, replace the bolt with a new one.
      2. Limit (A): 99.4 mm
      1. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the thread of the bolts and to the washers.
           
        1. Use special tool cylinder head bolt wrench (MB991654) to tighten the cylinder head bolts as follows:
          1. Tighten the cylinder head bolts to 78 ± 2 N·m in the order shown.
          1. Loosen the bolts fully in the reverse order of that shown.
          1. Tighten the cylinder head bolts to 20 ± 2 N·m in the order shown.
             
            1. Apply a paint mark to the heads of the cylinder head bolts and cylinder head, then tighten 90 degree angle as shown.
               CAUTION
              The bolt is not tightened sufficiently if the bolt is tightened less than 90 degree angle.
            1. Tighten the bolt an additional 90 degree angle as shown. Then check to see that the paint mark on the head of the cylinder head bolts and the paint mark on the cylinder head are aligned.
            1. If tightening the bolt 90 degree angle results in moving the paint mark on the bolt past the paint mark on the cylinder head, remove the bolt and start over from step 1.
             
          1. Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water outlet fitting.
          1. Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
             
          1. Use the following special tool as during removal to support the camshaft sprocket.
            • Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767)
            • Pin (MD998719)
          1. Tighten the camshaft sprocket mounting bolts to the specified torque.
          2. Tightening torque: 89 ± 9 N·m
               
            1. Remove special tool adjusting bolt (MD998738), then assemble the timing belt under cover rubber plug.
