4. Apply a bead of the sealant to the timing chain 

case assembly mounting surface. The bead 
diameter should be 2.5 

± 0.5 mm. Overlap the 

part "A" with the diameter of 4.5 

± 0.5 mm or 2.5 ± 

0.5 mm as shown in the figure, and apply the 
sealant.

Specified sealant: Three bond 1217G or 
equivalent

CAUTION

• If the sealant contacts any other part during 

installation of the timing chain case assembly, 
apply sealant again before installing the tim-
ing chain case assembly.

• After the installation, until a sufficient period 

of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not 
apply the oil or water to the sealant applica-
tion area or start the engine.

5. Install the timing chain case assembly to the 

cylinder block and cylinder head so that the 
sealant does not contact other parts.

NOTE: Install the timing chain case assembly 
immediately after applying sealant.

1. When installing the new balancer shaft and oil 

pump module, apply oil to the oil pump in the 
balancer shaft and oil pump module and the 
balancer shaft bearing as follows.

(1) Clean the inside of the removed engine oil 

pan, and put the balancer shaft and oil pump 
module into the engine oil pan with its oil inlet 
port facing up.

(2) Pour new engine oil until two-thirds of the 

balancer shaft and oil pump module is soaked.

(3) Fill the engine oil (approximately 50 mL) into 

the balancer shaft and oil pump module from 
the oil inlet port.

2. Wipe the dirt on the crankshaft sprocket and the 

crankshaft using a rag, and then remove the 
grease from the portion shown in the illustration.

NOTE: Remove grease to prevent a drop in the 
coefficient of friction of the pressing portion 
caused by adhesion of oil.

3. With the link marks (orange and blue) of balancer 

timing chain aligned with the timing marks of 
balancer sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, install 
the balancer shaft and oil pump module together 
with the balancer timing chain and crankshaft 
sprocket as one unit to the cylinder block. At this 
time, securely bring the balancer shaft and oil 
pump module into contact with the rudder frame 
mounting area.

4. Apply an adequate and minimum amount of 

engine oil to the threads and bearing surfaces of 
the balancer shaft and oil pump module bolts.
