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

Tightening order
(1) |
Tighten the bolts in
order number as shown with seating torque 26.4 N.m (3.0kgf.m, 21.7
lb-ft) and then loosen the bolts as reverse tightening order. (6-5-4-3-2-1). |
(2) |
Using the SST (09221-4A000),
tighten the bolts as specified tightening order in same increments
as follows.
