  1. Rotate the crankshaft to confirm that there are no meshing problems between the balancer unit gear and the crankshaft gear.
  1. Install the special tool and rotate the crankshaft slowly clockwise until the crankshaft balance weight is up against the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg. The engine is now at TDC.
    Use Special Service Tool: 303-507  Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC.
  1. Remove Special Service Tool: 303-507  Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC.
  1. NOTE: Measure the backlash and verify that it is within specified range at all of the following 6 positions: 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 100 degrees, 190 degrees, 210 degrees and 280 degrees. It will be necessary to reset the measuring equipment between measurements.

    NOTE: The measurement must be taken with the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture, a 5-mm Allen wrench and worm clamp set up as shown.

    • NOTE: Make sure the worm clamp and Allen wrench are not touching the balance shaft housing.

      Install the 5-mm Allen wrench and tighten worm clamp as shown.
    • Mark the Allen wrench with a file 20 mm (0.79 in) above the driven gear top surface.
    • Install the balance shaft preload tool and bolts as shown.
      Use Special Service Tool: 303-1688  Preload Tool, Balance Shaft.
    • Install and position the dial indicator gauge with holding fixture on the Allen wrench 20 mm (0.79 in) as shown.
      Use Special Service Tool: 100-002 (TOOL-4201-C)  Holding Fixture with Dial Indicator Gauge.
    • Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and measure the backlash at all of the following 6 positions: 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 100 degrees, 190 degrees, 210 degrees and 280 degrees.
