Rodeo S 2WD L4-2.2L (1999)
9. Remove balance unit from cylinder block/crankshaft bearing caps and remove with balancer piece. The balancer piece has a number (code), for
easy assignment. The tooth backlash can be adjusted by using a balancer piece with a different thickness.
NOTE: The next larger or smaller balancer alters the tooth backlash by 0.02 mm (0.0008 inch).
Example of selection of balancer piece: The installed balancer piece with the code "70" gave a tooth backlash of 0.08 mm (0.0031 inch).
If a balancer piece with the code "67" is now installed, the tooth backlash will be approximately 0.06 mm (0.0024 inch).
CAUTION: Only one balancer piece may be installed.
REASSEMBLY
1. Turn crankshaft in engine rotational direction to alignment mark (2) "TDC".
2. Turn balancer shafts until the flattened sides (arrows) of both balancer shafts face downward and are on a horizontal line.
3. Install selected balancer piece (2) with balancer shaft unit to cylinder block/crankshaft bearing cap - tighten all fixing bolts to the specified torque.
Torque: 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.)
4. After installing the balancer shaft unit, recheck the tooth backlash and readjust if necessary.
NOTE: If the balancer shaft unit has to be replaced, use the thickest balancer piece with the code "85" for the initial assembly - this guarantees
tooth backlash in all conditions.
5. Install oil strainer to oil pump with new seal ring and insert fixing bolts with locking agent to the specified torque.
