Turn the engine to the top dead center position. This will tighten the toothed belt under the force of the tensioner spring.
Check the valve timing. When the crankshaft is at the top dead center, the mark on the toothed pulley of the camshaft N should coincide with the mark on the cylinder head "arrows". At the same time, the mark on the flange of the crankshaft K should overlap the protrusion on the casing.
In this position, tighten bolt E first and then bolt F (See Fig. W-1040).
Otherwise, remove the timing belt again, align the pulleys according to the marks and re-apply and tension the timing belt.
Caution: When the timing belt is tensioned, all marks must be aligned, otherwise serious damage to the engine may occur.
