Honda Twin & Single Cam Timing Kit Instructions
VS4656 Engine Setting/Locking Tool Kit provides the special tools called for when replacing timing belts on Honda models. The kit includes Tensioner Tools and Locking Pins. Many Honda sohc and twin cam engines, including those fitted in Rover 600 Series models, have balancer shafts connected to the crankshaft pulley by a balancer shaft belt. During removal and refitting of the timing belt the balancer shaft belt is removed.
NOTE: It is necessary to remove the balancer shaft belt before the timing belt can be removed.
For balancer shaft belt replacement, align both crank-shaft and camshaft timing marks.
Remove crank pulley and lock the tensioner arm.
Push the tensioner away from the belt and remove the belt.
Check both crankshaft timing marks and balancer shaft sprocket timing marks align.
Align the front balancer shaft sprocket groove with the pointer on oil pump housing.
Remove cylinder block plug and insert VS3032.10
Locking Pin.
Carefully rotate the rear balancer shaft until VS3032.10 locates in to the shaft.
IMPORTANT: VS3032.10 should enter the hole to a depth of approx. 75mm. Fit balancer shaft belt and remove the Locking Pin. Tension the balancer shaft belt.
VS4571 Tensioner Retaining Clamp (Fig.2)
Timing belt replacement on 2.2 VTEC H22 engines requires the removal of the automatic tensioner.
In order to re-install the tensioner in its retracted condition it is essential to use VS4571 Clamp.
To retract the tensioner plunger carefully clamp the tensioner upright in a vice (maintenance bolt pointing up) and remove the bolt.
IMPORTANT: Ensure no oil has spilt out of the tensioner. If oil has leaked out, drain the unit completely and refill with engine oil (0.22 fl.oz.).
Insert a screwdriver into the top of tensioner and turn clockwise to compress the tensioner.. Retain in the retracted position by fitting VS4571 Clamp and install the maintenance bolt.
Ensure the crankshaft and camshaft timing marks are aligned and fit the new belt making sure it is taut on the non-tensioned side. Install the automatic tensioner and remove VS4571 Clamp to allow plunger to operate.
