1993 Geo Metro Timing Belt Installation

The Suzuki Cultus is a supermini manufactured by Suzuki since 1983. It is marketed under a variety of names, including the Geo Metro in the United States. The 1993 model belongs to the second-generation of this vehicle, and the United States version features a three-cylinder 1.0-liter engine with a single overhead camshaft. This engine design uses a timing belt to keep the camshaft synchronized with the crankshaft. You will need to replace the timing belt in a 1993 Geo Metro at 60,000 mile intervals.

Instructions

1

Remove the cable from the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench to ensure the engine doesnt start. Raise the vehicle with a jack and support it on jack stands. Disconnect the bolts for the crankshaft pulley and remove the crankshaft pulley.

2

Disconnect the cover for the timing belt with a socket wrench. Turn the crankshaft clockwise to align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears. Disconnect the plate, spring and spring damper for the timing belt tensioner. Remove the timing belt tensioner and the timing belt.

3

Place the bolt for the timing belt tensioner plate into the hole on the timing belt tensioner. Install the timing belt tensioner, and connect the spring and spring damper. Tighten the bolt on the timing belt tensioner by hand.

4

Turn the crankshaft clockwise if necessary to realign the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears. Install the new timing belt onto the crankshaft and camshaft gears so that the arrow on the timing belt points in the clockwise direction.

5

Turn the crankshaft clockwise by two complete turns to remove the slack on the timing belt. Ensure that you align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears. Tighten the stud on the timing belt tensioner to 8 foot-pounds with a torque wrench. Tighten the bolt on the timing belt tensioner to 20 foot-pounds.

6

Replace the timing belt cover and tighten its bolts to 8 foot-pounds with a torque wrench. Place the key way of the crankshaft pulley into the key on the timing belt pulley and install the crankshaft pulley. Tighten the bolts on the crankshaft pulley to 8 foot-pounds. Lower the vehicle and connect the cable for the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench.
