Balancer Shaft Removal and Installation: Installation

Reference: BALANCER SHAFT, BALANCER BEARING INSPECTION 

1. If removed, install shaft balancer bearings according to the following procedure.
   CAUTION: The balancer shaft bearing No. 1 is different in shape from the balancer shaft bearing No. 2. If these bearings are installed in the wrong (reverse) positions, the oil pump will have operational problems and/or the balancer shaft could seize up. Be sure to install the bearings in the specified positions.
   1. Fit tab (1) of each balancer shaft bearing to groove (2) of oil pump housing or balancer shaft cover.
   2. Press balancer shaft bearing end (3) until its outer surface comes in contact with oil pump housing or balancer shaft cover.
   3. Apply engine oil to inner surface (4) of balancer shaft bearing.
      CAUTION: If oil is present between the bearing's outside surface and the oil pump housing / balancer shaft cover surface, the bearing could heat up to very high temperature, resulting in seizure. Be sure to thoroughly wipe off any trace of oil that is present between the bearing's outside surface and the oil pump housing / balancer shaft cover surface.
