<< A >> Balancer Timing Belt/Balancer Timing Belt TENSIONER Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Ensure that the crankshaft balancershaft drive sprocket timing marks and balancershaft sprocket timing marks are aligned.
Install the balancer timing belt on the crankshaft balancershaft drive sprocket and balancershaft sprocket. There should be no slack on the tension side.
