3.	Remove the balance shaft chain tensioner (B).

4.	Remove the balance shaft chain tensioner arm (C).

5.	Remove the balance shaft chain guide (D).

Remove the BSM (Balance Shaft Module) after removing the BSM mounting bolts.

Do not disassemble the BSM (Balance Shaft Module).

7.	Remove the balance shaft chain (A).

BSM (Balance Shaft Module)

1.	Remove the RH front wheel. (Refer to Suspension System - "Wheel")

2.	Remove the oil pan. (Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Pan")

Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.

(1)	Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the timing chain cover.

(2)	Confirm that the BSM sprocket timing mark (A) is visually aligned with center of adjacent cast timing notch (B).

4.	Put a mark on the timing chain (A) corresponding to the timing mark (B) of the sprocket.

5.	Insert a stopper pin (A) into the hole on the tensioner after compressing the balance shaft chain tensioner piston.

6.	Remove the BSM mounting bolts.

Remove the BSM (Balance Shaft Module) (A) while taking off the chain from the sprocket.

Do not disassemble the BSM (Balance Shaft Module).

Installation

BSM(Balance Shaft Module) Chain System

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.

Insert a stopper pin (A) on the BSM to hold the sprocket at the reference position with the timing mark (B) aligned with the timing notch (C).

New BSM has already been installed with a stopper pin at the reference position.

3.	Match the timing marks of balance shaft chain sprocket (A) and balance shaft chain (B), then install the balance shaft chain (C).

Install the BSM (Balance Shaft Module).

(1)	Match the timing marks of balance shaft chain sprocket (A) and balance shaft chain (B), then install the balance shaft sprocket on the chain.

(2)	Tighten the bolts with seating torque 29.4 N·m (3.0kgf·m, 21.7 lb-ft) and then loosen the bolts.

(3)

Using the SST (Torque Angle Adapter, 09221-4A000), tighten the bolts with specified tightening torgue and angle.

Tightening torque

Bolts (A) (M9x181.5) : 22.6 - 26.5 N·m (2.3 - 2.7 kgf·m, 16.6 - 19.5 lb·ft) + 88° - 92°

Bolts (B) (M9x100) : 22.6 - 26.5 N·m (2.3 - 2.7 kgf·m, 16.6 - 19.5 lb·ft) + 43° - 47°

Do not reuse the BSM bolts.

Install the balance shaft chain guide (D).

Tightening torque :

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

Install the balance shaft chain tensioner arm (C).

Tightening torque :

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

Install the balance shaft chain tensioner (B) then remove the stopper pin (A).

Tightening torque :

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

8.	Remove the stopper pin (A) of balance shaft module.

9.	After rotating crankshaft 2 revolutions in regular direction (clockwise viewed from front), confirm that the timing mark and notch are aligned at the reference position.

10.	Install the other parts in the reverse order of removal.

BSM (Balance Shaft Module)

Insert a stopper pin (A) on the BSM to hold the sprocket at the reference position with the timing mark (B) aligned with the timing notch (C).

New BSM has already been installed with a stopper pin at the reference position.

Install the BSM (Balance Shaft Module) (A).

The timing mark of BSM sprocket should be matched with the paint-marked link of the timing chain.

Install the BSM mounting bolts.

(1)	Tighten the bolts with seating torque 29.4 N·m (3.0kgf·m, 21.7 lb-ft) and then loosen the bolts.

(2)

Using the SST (Torque Angle Adapter, 09221-4A000), tighten the bolts with specified tightening torgue and angle.

Tightening torque

Bolts (A) (M9x181.5) : 22.6 - 26.5 N·m (2.3 - 2.7 kgf·m, 16.6 - 19.5 lb·ft) + 88° - 92°

Bolts (B) (M9x100) : 22.6 - 26.5 N·m (2.3 - 2.7 kgf·m, 16.6 - 19.5 lb·ft) + 43° - 47°

Do not reuse the BSM bolts.

4.	Remove the stopper pin (A) from the BSM.

5.	Remove the stopper pin (A) from the tensioner.

Confirm the BSM timing mark.

(1)	Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the timing chain cover.

(2)	Confirm that the sprocket timing mark (A) is visually aligned with center of adjacent cast timing notch (B).

7.	Install the other parts in the revers order of removal.
