2. With the link marks (orange or blue) of balancer timing chain

aligned with the timing marks of balancer sprocket and
crankshaft sprocket, install the balancer shaft and oil pump
module together with the balancer timing chain and
crankshaft sprocket as one unit to the cylinder block. At this
time, securely bring the balancer shaft and oil pump module
into contact with the rudder frame mounting area.

3. Apply an adequate and minimum amount of engine oil to the

threads and bearing surfaces of the balancer shaft and oil
pump module bolts.

4. Tighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module bolts to the

specified torque of 20 N

⋅m (15 ft-lb) in the order of number

shown in the figure.

5. Retighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module bolts to

the specified torque of 44 N

⋅m (33 ft-lb) in the order of

number shown in the figure.

6. Loosen each balancer shaft and oil pump module bolt fully in

the reverse sequence to that shown.

7. Tighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module bolts to the

specified torque of 20 N

⋅m (15 ft-lb) in the order of number

shown in the figure.

CAUTION

• Never turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
• Never turn the crankshaft after the cylinder No.1 or No.4

is set to the top dead center of compression.

1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise to align the timing mark of the

balancer shaft sprocket with the timing mark of the balancer
shaft and oil pump module, and set the cylinder No.1 or
No.4 to the top dead center of compression.

2. Put paint marks on the balancer shaft sprocket timing mark

and balancer timing chain.

CAUTION

Securely install the plunger of the timing chain tensioner.
Otherwise, it may pop out.
3. Press the balancer timing chain against the timing chain

tensioner, compress the plunger of the timing chain
tensioner and insert L-shaped hard wire (piano wire, etc.) or
L-shaped hexagon wrench (1.5 mm [0.05 inch]) to the
plunger fixing hole of the timing chain tensioner from under
the timing chain case, and fix the plunger of the timing chain
tensioner.
