2001 CHRYSLER VOYAGER engine

OPERATION
The balance shaft is driven by the crankshaft. The
balance shafts are connected by heelical gears. The
dual-counter rotating shafts decrease second order
vertical shaking forces caused by component move-
ment.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove oil pan (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRI-
CATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove balance shaft assembly (Fig. 87).

INSTALLATION
(1) Before installation of the balance shaft assem-
bly, the # 1 cylinder must be brought to TDC. Using
special tool VM.1051, roll engine over by hand until
tool can be inserted into engine block locking fly-
wheel from turning (Fig. 88). Once the # 1 cylinder is
brought to TDC, the balance shaft assembly can be
installed.
(2) With balance shaft assembly on work bench.
Insert special tool VM.1056 into balance shaft assem-
bly (Fig. 89). This will ensure proper balance shaft
and crankshaft timing after assembly.
(3) Install balance shaft assembly and retaining
bolts (Fig. 87). Torque bolts to 32.4N´m.
(4) Install oil pan (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRI-
CATION/OIL PAN - INSTALLATION).
(5) Refill engine oil to proper level.
(6) Connect negative battery cable.
