Guest Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Yep. Process is: first install using marks. Then count the teeth. Then release the tensioner. Rotate and count the teeth again. Simple. Tip: to put driver side cam sprockets in position just use 10mm Allen bits on non-rachet bar. Remove the little cover on the intake sprocket, just be careful as some oil my spill out of there and you don't want that on a new belt.

Max Capacity Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Isn't there something about rotating the crankshaft by hand a and making sure the timing marks line back up. I'll say its been 10 years since I replaced mine, I pay to have it done now. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Guest Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Well, yeah, I also rotate and count the teeth again. In fact, I might have skip counting the teeth, before rotating. After rotating the marks will not line up. So you count the teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outahere Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 ...After rotating the marks will not line up.. I would expect that with enough rotations of the crankshaft, all the reference marks on the belt and sprockets will line up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it will take many rotations. Not practical. Easier to count teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Just so we know, seems Aisin has changed the tensioner in their kit. https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2944523 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

whitexc Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I didn't know you all were so active over yonder. I'm a one man show if you know what I mean and I certainly don't care for what I am reading! I bought, stored and had installed the Aisin TKF-004 kit. I hope it lasts. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
