BALANCER UNIT - J.3When replacing needle or roller race bearings, theyshould not be hammered in, but pressed in using asuitable dolly. Needle race bearings should be pressedin to a minimum of 0.008 in (0,20 mm) from the end ofthe housing. Thicker section roller race bearings shouldbe pressed in so that a clearance of 0.030/0.040 in(0,76/1,02 mm) is left between the end faces of allbearings and inside face of the frame bosses.Having renewed any part showing signs of wear,proceed as follows:—Replace the seven plugs in the oil drillings of thebalancer frame.Should it have proved necessary to renew the idlergear and hub securing stud, fit the new stud, using"Loctite".Should it have been necessary to remove thecoupling gears from the balance weights, using "Loctite",re-assemble. finally tightening the socket headedcapscrews to a torque of 11 Ibf ft (1.52 kgf m) - 15 Nm.Where necessary, renew the shaft keys.Stand the balancer unit on its lubricating oil pumpend face.Place the two balance weights complete with gearsinto the frame, coupling the gears so that when theshafts are partially entered, the keys are in the samerelative position, i.e., both at top dead centre or both atbottom dead centre.Ensure that each shaft is related dead centre to thebushes at the front end rear of the frame and press inuntil the drive shaft (with integral gear) is fully home andthe end of the driven shaft is flush with the drive endface of the balancer frame.Extreme care must be taken when pressing in theshafts, to prevent the keys from touching the drive endbushes (where fitted) or the needle bearings as theypass through. The slightest damage caused this waycould result in seizure of the unit and severeconsequential damage to the engine.Using "Loctite", fit the two grubscrews to eachbalance weight and tighten to a torque of 7-1/2 Ibf ft(1,03 kgf m) - 10 Nm. Do not omit degreasing beforeusing "Loctite".Fit thrust plate, idler gear and hub so that the singlecentre punch mark on the idler gear registers betweenthe two punch marks on the integral balance shaft gear.Ensure that the dowel in the hub locates in thecorresponding hole in the balancer frame.Fit the idler gear and hub retaining nut or setscrewand tighten to a torque of 40 Ibf ft (5.53 kgf m) - 54 Nm.Revolve the unit by means of the idler gear toensure that the action is quite free.Place the oil pump back plate in position at the rearof the balancer unit.Fit the oil pump drive gear onto the end of thebalancer drive shaft.Fit the oil pump idler gear onto the idler shaft in thepump and refit the pump housing to the balancer unit,securing with seven setscrews and washers to a torqueof 21 lbf ft (2.90 kgf m} 29 Nm.Revolve the balancer unit idler gear once more toensure freedom.Continue revolving the idler gear until the punchmarks once more coincide. This may take severalrevolutions.To ReplacePlace the two locating thimbles into their bores andrefit the balancer unit to the cylinder block, ensuring thatthe single centre punch mark on the crankshaft gearregisters between the two punch marks on the idler gearof the balancer unit.The balancer unit is now timed to the engine. Whenfitting the balancer unit to an engine where the front endhas not been stripped, it will not be possible to observethe punch mark on the crankshaft gear for the purposesof timing the unit to the engine.In this case, the engine should firstly be rotated sothat either the piston of No. 1 or No 2 cylinder is at top orbottom dead centre. Bottom dead centre is preferableas any error greater than one gear tooth will cause a foulbetween the weights and the connecting rod in thisposition, making it obvious that the balancer unit hasbeen timed wrongly.Revolve the idler gear until the single centre punchmark on the idler gear registers between the two punchmarks on the balancer shaft drive gear.Suitably mark with chalk, a tooth of the drive to alignwith another chalk mark on the frame.In this position, fit the balancer unit to the engine,checking that the weights have not moved
