INSPECTION

SPROCKETS, TENSIONER, IDLER

1. Check the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, tensioner pulley and idler pulley for abnormal wear, cracks,

or damage. Replace as necessary.

2. Inspect the tensioner and the idler for easy and smooth rotation and check for play or noise. Replace as necessary.

3. Replace the tensioner and the idler if grease is leaked from bearings.

TIMING BELT

1. Check the belt for oil or dust deposits.
