Important: If the balance shafts are not properly timed to the engine, the engine may vibrate
or make noise.
- Install the balance shaft drive chain with colored links lined up with the marks
on the balance shaft drive sprockets and crankshaft sprocket. Use the following procedure
to line up the links with the sprockets:
| 1.1. | Orient the chain so that the copper colored and chrome links are visible. |
| 1.2. | Place the copper colored link (1) so that it lines up with the
timing mark on the intake side balance shaft sprocket. |
| 1.3. | Working clockwise around the chain, place the first chrome link (2)
in line with the timing mark on the crankshaft drive sprocket, approximately the 6 o'clock
position on the crank sprocket. |
| 1.4. | Place the chain around the water pump drive sprocket. |
| 1.5. | Align the last chrome link (3) with the timing mark on the exhaust
side balance shaft drive sprocket. |
