sequence.

(1)

Install the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket and then
on the water pump pulley, while tightening it to prevent
slackness.

(2)

Line up the timing marks of the left bank camshaft
sprockets.

(3)

Install the timing belt on the idler pulley, while taking up the
slack.

(4)

Install the timing belt on the right bank camshaft sprocket.

(5)

Install the timing belt on the tensioner pulley.
