1. The key of crankshaft should be aligned with the mating face of main bearing cap. As a result of this, the piston of No.1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.
2. Confirm the balance shaft & oil pump module timing mark.

Timing marks to be visually aligned with centers of adjacent cast timing notche.

3. Install the balance shaft & oil pump module (A) with the chain (B) and the sprocket (C).

The timing marks of balance shaft & oil pump module sprocket and crankshaft sprocket should be matched with the timing marks (color link) of balance shaft chain.

Tightening order

Tightening order
