1.

NOTE: Clearance can only be adjusted between the crankshaft and balance shaft assemblies. Incorrect balance shaft clearance will require replacement of the balance shaft assembly.

2.

CAUTION: Mark the installation positions of the components before removal.

NOTE: The shoulder bolt in position 1 secures the oil pump.

3. Turn the crankshaft and install the injection timing tool. Special tool: 303-1270





4. Lock the balance shafts. Special tool: 303-1329



5. For balance shaft data, refer to the engine specifications section. Refer to procedure: Specifications (303-01).

6. Measure the clearance between the balance shafts. Special tool: 303-1330



7. Install the measuring instrument with the scale at the measuring point on the special tool.



8. If the clearance is outside tolerances, replace the balance shaft assembly.

9. If the balance shaft assembly requires replacement, proceed to step 17.

10. Remove the balance shaft locking device. Special tool: 303-1329



11. Remove the injection timing adjustment device. Special tool: 303-1270



12. Measure the clearance between the balance shaft and the crankshaft. Special tool: 303-1330



13. Install the measuring instrument with the scale at the measuring point on the special tool.



14. Turn the crankshaft in the direction of normal rotation, measure and record the clearance of each quarter rotation of the balance shafts until 8 readings are obtained and the crankshaft has completed 1 full revolution.



15. Calculate the average gap.

16. If the gap is out of tolerance, proceed to step 22.

17. If installation of a new balance shaft assembly is required.

Clean the mating surfaces and remove any rust or foreign material. Make sure the dowel pins are seated correctly.

NOTE: Install this item in the position noted during removal.

18. Remove the balance shaft assembly.
