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.
10. 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
and crankshaft counterbalance will prevent crankshaft and gear rotation.
11. CHAIN TENSIONING:
a) Install chain tensioner loosely assembled with new shouldered pivot screw and adjuster screw.
b) Position guide on double ended stud making sure tab on the guide fits into slot on the gear cover. Install and tighten nut/washer assembly to 12
Nm (105 inch lbs.).

Apply firm pressure 2.5 - 3 Kg (5.5 - 6.6 lbs.) directly behind the adjustment slot to take up all slack. Chain must have shoe radius contact as
shown in (Fig. 154).
d) With the load applied, tighten top tensioner bolt first, then bottom pivot bolt. Tighten bolts to 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.). Remove shim.
e) Install carrier covers and tighten screws to 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.).
12. If removed, install oil pump.
