I am rebuilding my F22A6 out of my 91 Accord. I didn't mark the teeth on the balance shaft nor on the balance shaft drive gear before I pulled the balance shaft drive assembly off. I assume that since the balance shafts have to be timed with the camshaft and timing assembly that it matters where the balance shaft is when I put the drive back on, is this correct???
I don't see any markings anywhere that show where the two gears would mesh at, do I need to do anything special, or do I just bolt the balance shaft drive assembly back on?

For those of you that are not sure what I am talking about - I am talking about the balance shaft in the rear of the engine that has the cast iron housing with the big gear that the balance shaft belt goes on. Inside the housing is a gear that runs the gear that the balance shaft is connected to. I will try to find some pictures to post that show what I am talking about.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

 

I am talking about the two gears that mesh on the back side of this! One gear is mounted to the back side of this drive gear, and the other gear is mounted on the balance shaft itself.

I feel like a jackass!!! I just realized that all I have to do is stick that 6 mm bolt through the balance shaft, and then line the marks on this drive up, and it should be set correct, unless it is 180 off, if that is possible.
