- Install the balance shaft
drive sprocket.
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 the colored links lined up
on with the marks on the balance shaft drive sprockets and the crankshaft
sprocket. There are three colored links on the chain. Two links are of matching
colors, and one link is of a unique color. Use the following procedure to
line up the links with the sprockets:
Orient the chain so that
the colored links are visible.
- 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 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.
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

| 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. |
