Gday
I thought Id do a write up on a 1HZ timing belt change. I did a search and didnt see 1, and thought it may help someone.
I start by pulling the bolts (3) from the P/steer resivior, to let it flop around a bit.
Then remove the 3 bolts (10mm head) and 4 clips from the plastic timing belt cover. I use a 3/8 drive ratchet and a short 2.5" extension to get these bolts.
Next, I turn over the engine, using the bolt on the injector pump pully (19mm), to line up the timing marks to Bottom Dead Center. You may need a 1/2" drive breaker bar for this.
Here is a pic with the cover off.
I high lighted the timing marks on the pulleys with a white pen on this engine.
Also note the mud on the tensioner spring.
