Balance shaft timing
I'm replacing my balance shaft belt on a 96 honda accord lx 2.2 and removed the inspection hole on the block and noticed that there is three posible adjustments that a bolt will go in 2.9" how do i know which one to use?

before u do anything put car on top dead center # 1 ....everything should align,,,,,,,,remove the bolt from the back of the block and put a punch in it so it will stay aligned.........do not forget to remove it or roll the engine with punch in hole

Re: Balance shaft timing (deserthonda)
Thanks for the fast reply. The balancd shaft belt was broken. I noticed that the metal rod which I put through the inspection hole can go in 3 positions. There is a dot on that gear, any Idea where the dot should be pointing?

Should point to a mark on the oil pump housing at about the 5 o'clock position.

A picture is worth a thousand words but it takes up alot more memory.

Re: Balance shaft timing (viperdna)
Well I had the same problem. I found a picture showing the balance shaft alignment hole off center in the shaft. Between me and my buddies we figgured the balance shaft can only be aligned in one position because because of the off center alignmnet hole. The shaft as we presumed is driven at a different rate then then the crank. Were we wrong?

Re: Balance shaft timing (Icemanxxxv)
you are correct Mr Einstien the counter balance shafts are driven at different speeds. Take note of the pulley sizes, the rear shaft has the same number of teeth as the T-belt crank pulley, yet the front shaft is a smaller pulley.........
exactly 1/2 the number of teeth as the rear pulley. Things that make ya go Huummmmmm??
Yet the gears inside the rear pulley housing are 1:1 sized that could equal the same ratio as the front shaft, yet the Counter balance shaft belt pulley at the crank has twice the number of teeth as the T-belt pulley.
Whew, it's enough to cook yer noodles huh??
