Balance Shaft Drive Chain Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clean the balance shaft drive chain parts in cleaning solvent. Remove the varnish, sludge and dirt.
  2. Inspect the balance shaft drive chain for the following conditions:
    • Damaged links
    • Worn or missing rollers
    NOTE: Do not attempt to remove a link from the chain. The chain may be weakened and may fail, resulting in a loss of oil pressure and engine damage.
  3. Replace the chain and sprockets if the chain tension cannot be adjusted to specification before the chain hits the housing or the guide comes to the end of its travel.
