It's time to re-tension the timing belt. Loosen the 14mm tensioner bolt and turn the crank counter-clockwise two turns. The timing belt should be at the right tension at this point in time so go ahead and tighten the tensioner bolt. Using a 19mm socket on the appropriate number of socket extensions, continue turning the crankshaft counter-clockwise until the engine is TDC at cylinder 1 With cylinder 1 at TDC, you can now proceed to do the valve clearances for the intake, followed by the exhaust camshaft. The valve clearance specs are dependant on the types of cams you are using. After completing cylinder 1, move on to the next cylinder. Turn the crankshaft counter-clockwise by 180 degrees (the cam pulleys will turn by 90 degrees) to bring cylinder 3 to TDC. Proceed to adjust the clearances for cylinder 3, before moving on to cylinder 4, then finally cylinder 2, turning the crank by the same amount (180 degrees) before you switch cylinders.
