CAUTION:

Always replace the balance shaft bearings whenever the balance shaft is removed. The bearing assembly clasp may have worn which if reused can result in the bearing assembly lifting off the balance shaft journal during balance shaft installation which will cause subsequent engine failure.

  1. Remove the engine oil pump. Refer to PUMP, ENGINE OIL, REMOVAL .
