  Install

20.   Turn the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation to the mark "1st Cylinder TDC" using the fastening bolt for the toothed belt drive gear.
21.   Turn balancer shafts so that both flattened sides (arrows) point downward and form a horizontal line.
Note:   If operations have been performed on the crank drive that could affect the tooth backlash between the balancer shafts and the crankshaft (e.g. replacing the crankshaft, crankshaft bearing cap or balancer shaft unit), the tooth backlash between balancer shafts and crankshaft must be adjusted – see operation "Checking and adjusting balancer shaft unit/crankshaft tooth backlash".
