Guide for 1988 Mazda Truck B Series Truck L4-2184cc 2.2L 2200 Vehicle Level Engine, Cooling and Exhaust Engine Timing Belt Service and Repair Timing Belt Removal and Installation
1. Align the timing mark on the timing belt pulley and camshaft pulley with the marks.
2. Remove all the spark plugs.
NOTE: This is to prevent compression while rotating the timing belt.
3. This procedure must be used to install the timing belt.
(1) Install the timing belt tensioner and spring.
(2) Position the timing belt tensioner all the way to the intake side, and temporarily secure it by tightening the lock bolt.
(3) Install the timing belt on the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft pulley from the tension side (the right side as viewed from the front of the engine) so that tension is retained.
CAUTION: If the timing belt is to be reused, install it so that the arrow applied when it was removed points in the direction the timing belt will rotate.
(4) Loosen the tensioner lock bolt so that the tensioner spring applies tension.
(5) Turn the crankshaft twice in the direction of rotation. This will apply equal tension to each side of the timing belt.
