How do you set timing belts on 4d56 pajero?

Answer 1

what have to do is remove the top timing cover first remove your fan and fan belts,

next you have to time the engine to TDC (topdead Center) on the crank shaft harmonic balancer first then remove the harmonic balancer from the crankshaft, once you have done this you can see the marks on the crank sprocket to the block and you can also see the cam timing mark which when looking at it, its mark is just after 3 o'clock, the fuel pump mark is at about 11 o'clock, when all these mark are timed up you can remove the timing belt by loosening the spring tensioner retaining bolts, levering down the tensioner to loosen the belt and tighten up the tensioner ( which you will loosen and again later)

on the 4d56 engine there is also a balance shaft belt, a smaller belt that runs underneath the main belt, the timing for this can be tricky, the sprokets can be in the right position on the timign marks but be 180° so on both sides of the block you will find 12 mm bolts that can be removed, once they are removed you can insert a small screw driver all the way in approx 2-3 inches if you cannot insert the screw driver into the hole it means the phasing on the balance shaft belts are out turn the balance shaft to line up on the sproket once again and you will find the screw drive now fits all the in,

then you can refit the belt loosen the spring tensioners and refit it all back together, it is recommended to turn the engine over twice to recheck the marks, in this case the balance shaft belts might not line up and you will have to turn the engine over again twice to line them up.

cheers and good luck
