Balance Shaft Installation

Tools Required
- J 43650 Balance Shaft Bushing Remover/Installer






1. Install the balance shaft bushing using the J 43650.






2. Seat the balance shaft bushing into the bore using the J 43650 and a wrench.
3. When the J 43650 is fully seated in the engine block remove it with a wrench.






Important: If the balance shafts are not properly timed to the engine, the engine may vibrate or make noise.

Install the balance shaft assemblies to the engine using the following steps:

4. Place the number one piston at TDC.
5. Install the balance shaft drive chain sprocket on the crankshaft.
6. Lubricate the balance shaft lobes with engine oil.
7. Install the balance shafts into their bores.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

8. Install the balance shaft retaining bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the balance shaft retaining bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb in).
