Valve Timing: Shaft-Balance: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The balance shaft and gear are serviced as an assembly. Do not attempt to remove the gear from the balance shaft.
  1. Coat balance shaft bearing journals with clean engine oil.
    NOTE: The balance shaft is heavy, and care should be used when installing shaft, so bearings are not damaged.

  3. Install balance shaft thrust plate retaining bolt finger tight. Do not  tighten bolt at this time.
  4. Position the right side of the thrust plate with the right chain guide bolt, install bolt finger tight.
