Balance Shafts (2.3L): Installation

  1. Ensure "0" mark on flywheel aligns with timing mark on flywheel cover. Lubricate balance shaft journals and bearing housings. Carefully insert balance shafts into their respective bores. Shaft marked INL goes into intake side of engine. Ensure timing marks on balance shaft bearing housings and sprockets are aligned.
  2. Install balance shaft chain and idler sprocket, leaving some slack in area of tensioner. Keep chain reasonably taut with upper chain guide. Press plunger on chain tensioner. Maintain plunger in position by inserting paper clip into hole in housing. Ensure plunger is turned to position in which spring acts fully upon it.
  3. Install chain guides and tensioner. Remove paper clip to set tensioner. Rotate crankshaft several times. Ensure timing marks align. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
