ting notch and spring tang should remain aligned
after lock nut is torqued.
(6) Remove allen wrench and torque wrench.
NOTE: Repositioning the crankshaft to the TDC
position must be done only during the CLOCKWISE
rotation movement. If TDC is missed, rotate a fur-
ther two revolutions until TDC is achieved. DO NOT
rotate crankshaft counterclockwise as this will
make verification of proper tensioner setting impos-
sible.
(7) Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two com-
plete revolutions manually for seating of the belt,
until the crankshaft is repositioned at the TDC posi-
tion. Verify that the camshaft and crankshaft timing
marks are in proper position (Fig. 124).

INSTALLATION
(1) Align timing belt tensioner assembly to engine
and install lower mounting bolt but do not tighten
(Fig. 129). To properly align tensioner assembly—in-
stall one of the engine bracket mounting bolts (M10)
5 to 7 turns into the tensioner’s upper mounting loca-
tion (Fig. 129).
(2) Torque the tensioner’s lower mounting bolt to
61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.). Remove the upper bolt used for
tensioner alignment.
(3) Install rear timing belt cover and fasteners.
Torque fasteners to values specified in (Fig. 128).
(4) Install timing belt idler pulley and torque
mounting bolt to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 126).
(5) Install camshaft sprockets. Use Special Tool
6847 to hold sprockets (Fig. 127), torque bolts to 101
N·m (75 ft. lbs.).
(6) Install the timing belt (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT AND SPROCKETS -
INSTALLATION).
BALANCE SHAFTS AND
CARRIER ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The 2.4L engine is equipped with two nodular cast
iron balance shafts installed in a cast aluminum car-
rier attached to the lower cylinder block (Fig. 130).
OPERATION
The balance shafts are driven by the crankshaft
via a roller chain and sprockets. The balance shafts
are connected by helical gears. The dual counter
rotating shafts decrease second order vertical shak-
ing forces caused by component movement.
REMOVAL
BALANCE SHAFTS/CHAIN/SPROCKETS
NOTE: For service procedures requiring only tem-
porary relocation of carrier assembly refer to BAL-
ANCE SHAFT CARRIER procedure below.
(1) Drain engine oil.
(2) Remove the oil pan and pick-up tube (Refer to
9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).
(3) If replacing crankshaft sprocket, remove oil
pump (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL
PUMP - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove chain cover, guide and tensioner (Fig.
131).
(5) Remove screw retaining balance shaft drive
sprocket (Fig. 132). Remove chain and sprocket.
(6) Using two wide pry bars, work the crankshaft
sprocket back and forth until it is off the crankshaft-
shaft.
(7) Remove gear cover retaining stud (double
ended to also retain chain guide). Remove cover and
balance shaft gears (Fig. 133).
(8) Remove rear cover and balance shafts (Fig.
134).
(9) Remove four carrier to crankcase attaching
bolts to separate carrier from engine bedplate.
