Stratus L4-2.4L DOHC (1995)
5. Turn crankshaft until number one cylinder if at Top Dead Center (TDC). The timing marks on the chain sprocket should line up with the parting line
on the left side of number one main bearing cap.
6. Place chain over crankshaft sprocket so that the nickel plated link of the chain is over the number 1 cylinder timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket.
7. Place balance shaft sprocket into the timing chain so that the timing mark on the sprocket (yellow dot) mates (with the lower) nickel plated link on
the chain.
8. With balance shaft keyways pointing up (12 o'clock) slide the balance shaft sprocket onto the nose of the balance shaft. The balance shaft may have
to be pushed in slightly to allow for clearance.
NOTE: The timing mark on the sprocket, the (lower) nickel plated link, and the arrow on the side of the gear cover should line up when the balance
shafts are timed correctly.
9. If the sprockets are timed correctly install the balance shaft bolts and tighten to 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.). A wood block placed between crankcase an
crankshaft counterbalance will prevent crankshaft and gear rotation.
