For 1990-2009 cars only
- Install the balance shaft drive sprocket and key.
- Install the balance shaft drive chain with the colored links lined up on with the marks on the balance shaft drive sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket. There are 3 colored links on the chain. 2 links are of matching colors, and 1 link is of a unique color. Use the following procedure to line up the links with the sprockets:
- Place the uniquely colored link (1) so that it lines up with the timing mark on the intake side balance shaft sprocket.
- Working clockwise around the chain, place the first matching colored link (2) in line with the timing mark on the crankshaft drive sprocket - approximately at the 6 o'clock position on the crank sprocket.
- Place the chain (3) on the water pump drive sprocket. The alignment is not critical.
- Align the last matching colored link (4) with the timing mark on the exhaust side balance shaft drive sprocket.
Note: If the balance shafts are not properly timed to the engine, the engine may vibrate or make noise.
Orient the chain so that the colored links are visible.
