Due to the knocking noise and slow leaking of antifreeze, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the timing belt, tensioner arm and water pump. The following is information and photos regarding the repair procedure as well as replacing idler bearings for the timing belt and accessory belts. TIMING BELT (Loosen Crank / Water Pump Bolts) Before jacking the car up, MTX and ATX PGT’s should turn their wheel to the left and pop out the rubber plug in the splash well. The crank bolt is accessible directly inline with this hole pictured here……… Put the MTX in forth gear and set the parking brake firmly. The bolt can easily be broken loose with a breaker bar. ATX trannys will have to brace the breaker bar against the frame rail and tap the starter to crank the engine and pop the bolt loose. Next, while the car is still on the ground with all the belts still on, take a 10 mm combination wrench and crack the four water pump pulley bolts loose. It’s much easier now with the driveline and belts holding the pulley(s) still.

NOTE: Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head temperature is less than 100ºF (38ºC). 1. ‘98-99 models: Remove the throttle body cover (A), ignition wire cover (B) and intake manifold covers (C). ‘00-02 models: Remove the throttle body cover (A), intake manifold covers (B) and intake manifold cover stay (C). ‘98-99 models: ‘00-02 models: 2. Remove the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister hose (A) from the throttle body. 3. Remove the vacuum hose (B) and breather pipe (C), then remove the intake air duct (D). 4. Remove the throttle cable (A) and cruise control cable (B) by loosening the locknuts (C), then slip the cable ends out of the accelerator linkage. Take care not to bend the cables when removing them. Always replace any kinked cable with a new one. 5. Remove the brake booster vacuum hose (A), vacuum hoses (B) and Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose (C). 6. Remove the vacuum hose (A) (’98-99 models), breather hose (B) and water bypass hoses (C). 7. Remove the intake manifold. 8. Remove the cylinder head covers. 9. Remove the front upper cover. 10. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. Align the pointer (A) on the back cover with the No. 1 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley. 11. Select the correct thickness feeler gauge for the valves you’re going to check. Intake: Exhaust: 0.20-0.24 mm (0.008-0.009 in.) 0.28-0.32 mm (0.011-0.013 in.)

1. Back out the tensioner bolt four (4) full turns and position the tensioner so the locating tab is at approximately the 4 o’clock position. Line up the hex key slot in the tensioner adjusting washer with the pointer that is located behind the pulley (Figure 1). 2. Working counterclockwise from the crank sprocket, install the liming belt. 3. Rotate the tensioner locating tab counterclockwise and insert the locating tab into the slot in the rear timing cover (Figure 2). 4. Position the hex key slot in the tensioner adjusting washer to the 4 o’clock position (Figure 2). 5. Tighten the attaching bolt enough to seat the tensioner firmly against the rear timing cover, but still allow the tensioner adjusting washer to be rotated using a 6 mm hex key (Figure 2). 6. Using the hex key, rotate the adjusting washer counterclockwise until the notch in the pointer is centered over the index line on the locating tab. (The pointer will move in a clockwise direction during adjustment) (Figure 3). 7. While holding the adjusting washer in position, torque the attaching bolt to 25 +/- 3 N.m (18 +/- 2 lb-ft) (Figure 4). NOTE IF THE POINTER DOES NOT REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE INDEX LINE DURING FINAL TIGHTENING, LOOSEN THE BOLT AND REPEAT THE PROCEDURE BEGINNING WITH STEP 4. OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE WARRANTY STATUS: INFORMATION ONLY OASIS CODES: 490000, 499000

Customer Concern: There is an engine vibration. Tests/Procedures: 1. To set the right side balance shaft timing, the use of the timing mark and a #2 Phillips screwdriver is necessary. There is a bolt on the side of the block that is removed, and the screwdriver is inserted into it, to ensure that the weight is in the down position when the timing mark is lined up. 2. Make sure the oil pump gear is set correctly. Rotate the oil pump pulley a few times to set the gear. When the oil pump gear is in the correct position it will snap into place. Potential Causes: Improperly Installed Balance Shaft Belt Tech Tips: Just because the dot is lined up does not mean the balance shaft driven by the oil pump is timed correctly.
