1. Apply clean engine oil to the balance shaft front bearing.
2. Using J 36996 and J 8092 , install the balance shaft.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.




3. Install the balance shaft retainer and bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).




4. Install the balance shaft driven gear.
5. If reusing the fastener, apply threadlocker to the threads of the balance shaft driven gear bolt. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers for the correct part number.
6. Install the balance shaft driven gear bolt.

6.1.	Use a wrench to secure the balance shaft.

Place the wrench onto the balance shaft near to the balance shaft front bearing.
