>>A<< LADDER FRAME INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Be sure to remove liquid gasket that has entered mounting
holes.
1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder

block and ladder frame.

CAUTION

Sufficiently check that there is no residual oil on the place
where degreasing is performed. If fingerprints are left, do
not touch it with bare hands after the degreasing, since the
oils from your fingers will harm the seal ability.
2. Degrease the surface where the liquid gasket is applied and

the contact surface between the cylinder block and ladder
frame.

thickness and apply it to the illustrated position of the ladder
frame.

Specified sealant:

Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent

4. Tighten the ladder frame to the specified tightening torque in

the order shown in the illustration.

Tightening torque: 28

± 2 N⋅m (21 ± 1 ft-lb)

CHAIN / BALANCER SHAFT MODULE
INSTALLATION

When the new balancer shaft module is installed, supply oil to
the oil pump and the balancer shaft bearing in the balancer
shaft module using the following procedures.

i. Clean the inside of the removed oil pan. Put the balancer

shaft module carefully into the oil pan so that the oil inlet
can be upward.

ii. Pour the engine oil so that the two-third of the balancer

module can be immersed.

iii. Also, pour approximate 50 cm

3

(3.1 cu in) of engine oil from

the oil inlet.

iv. By giving four clockwise rotations or more to the balancer

shaft sprocket, the oil is supplied to the oil pump and the
balancer shaft bearing.

1. Wipe the dirt on the crankshaft sprocket and the crankshaft

using a rag, and then remove the grease from the portion
shown in the illustration.
NOTE: Remove grease to prevent a drop in the coefficient
of friction of the pressing portion caused by adhesion of oil.

2. Align the timing mark of the balancer shaft module sprocket

with that of the balancer shaft module.

3. Insert a hexagonal bar wrench (3 mm [0.12 inch]) as

illustrated to prevent the balancer shaft module sprocket
from moving.

4. Loop the balancer chain, aligning its link plate with the timing

mark.

5. Install the crankshaft sprocket on the crankshaft.

NOTE: Do not push in the crankshaft sprocket to the normal
position. Push it in only up to the tip of the crankshaft.

6. While slanting the balancer shaft module, align the link plate

of another balancer chain with the timing mark of the
crankshaft sprocket to loop. Gradually push in the
crankshaft sprocket and fit it into the key groove of the
crankshaft. Then, install the balancer shaft module on the
ladder frame.
NOTE: Make sure that the balancer shaft module is com-
pletely intimate contact with the ladder frame.
NOTE: Make sure that the key groove of the crankshaft is
aligned with the contact surface of the cylinder block and
ladder frame as shown in the illustration.

7. Apply an appropriate and minimum amount of engine oil to

the screw thread of the balancer shaft module bolt.

8. Tighten bolts to the specified tightening torque of 20 N

⋅m (14

ft-lb) according to the assembly order in the illustration,
retighten them to 44 N

⋅m (32 ft-lb), and then completely

loosen them.

9. After tightening them to the specified tightening torque of 20

N

⋅m again, use special tool MB991614 to tighten them up to

°.

10.Pull out the hexagonal bar wrench from the balancer

module sprocket.
