INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET
CAUTION: The crankshaft sprocket is set to a pre-
determined depth from the factory for correct tim-
ing belt tracking. If removed, use of Special Tool
6792 is required to set the sprocket to original
installation depth. An incorrectly installed sprocket
will result in timing belt and engine damage.
(1) Install crankshaft sprocket using Special Tool
6792 (Fig. 120).
(2) Install timing belt. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/CHAIN AND
SPROCKETS - INSTALLATION)
INSTALLATION - CAMSHAFT SPROCKETS
(1) Install camshaft sprockets. Hold camshaft
sprockets with Special Tool 6847 while tightening
center bolts to 115 N´m (85 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 118).
(2) Install timing belt (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT AND SPROCKETS -
INSTALLATION).
(3) Connect negative battery cable.
INSTALLATION - TIMING BELT
(1) Set crankshaft sprocket to TDC by aligning the
sprocket with the arrow on the oil pump housing.
(2) Set camshafts timing marks so that the
exhaust camshaft sprocket is a 1/2 notch below the
intake camshaft sprocket (Fig. 121).
CAUTION: Ensure that the arrows on both camshaft
sprockets are facing up.
(3) Install timing belt. Starting at the crankshaft,
go around the water pump sprocket, idler pulley,
camshaft sprockets and then around the tensioner
(Fig. 122).
(4) Move the exhaust camshaft sprocket counter-
clockwise (Fig. 122) to align marks and take up belt
slack.
(5) Inserta6mmAllen wrench into the hexagon
opening located on the top plate of the belt tensioner
pulley. Rotate the top plateCOUNTERCLOCK-
WISE. The tensioner pulley will move against the
belt and the tensioner setting notch will eventually
start to move clockwise. Watching the movement of
the setting notch, continue rotating the top plate
counterclockwise until the setting notch is aligned
with the spring tang (Fig. 123). Using the allen
wrench to prevent the top plate from moving, torque
the tensioner lock bolt to 25 N´m (220 in. lbs.). Set-

(6) Remove allen wrench and torque wrench.
NOTE: Repositioning the crankshaft to the TDC
position must be done only during the CLOCKWISE
rotation movement. If TDC is missed, rotate a fur-
ther two revolutions until TDC is achieved. DO NOT
rotate crankshaft counterclockwise as this will
make verification of proper tensioner setting impos-
sible.
(7) Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two com-
plete revolutions manually for seating of the belt,
until the crankshaft is repositioned at the TDC posi-
tion. Verify that the camshaft and crankshaft timing
marks are in proper position (Fig. 124).

BALANCE SHAFTS AND
CARRIER ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The 2.4L engine is equipped with two nodular cast
iron balance shafts installed in a cast aluminum car-
rier attached to the lower cylinder block (Fig. 130).
OPERATION
The balance shafts are driven by the crankshaft
via a roller chain and sprockets. The balance shafts
are connected by helical gears. The dual counter
rotating shafts decrease second order vertical shak-
ing forces caused by component movement.

porary relocation of carrier assembly refer to BAL-
ANCE SHAFT CARRIER procedure below.
