2. CHECK THRUST CLEARANCES OF NO.1 AND NO.2
BALANCE SHAFT OF ENGINE BALANCER
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance
while moving the balance shaft back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.065 ± 0.110 mm (0.0026 ± 0.0043 in.)
Maximum clearance:
0.11 mm (0.0043 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
balance shaft housings and bearings. If necessary,
replace the balance shafts.
3. CHECK BACKLASH OF CRANKSHAFT GEAR AND
NO.1 BALANCE SHAFT GEAR
NOTICE:
wBacklash between the crankshaft gear and No.1
balance shaft gear varies with the rotation of the
balance shaft and the deviation of the crankshaft
gear.
wAccordingly, it is necessary to measure the backlash
at the 4 points shown in the illustration on the left.
When this inspection is performed on±vehicle, the
specifications are increased by approx. 0.025 mm
(See specifications below)

and Assembly)
1. REMOVE REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
Remove the 6 bolts, retainer and gasket.
(a) Rotate the crankshaft 2 or 3 times to settle the crank±
shaft gear and No.1 balance shaft gear.
(b) When No.1 piston is at TDC, check that the punch
marks shown in the illustration of the balance shafts
are aligned with the grooves of the No.2 housing.
