Maybe I'm just simple minded. However is it that much harder to create a balanced rotating assembly than engineer all this extra garbage to compensate? I know it wouldn't be as heavy.
What if you took the chain and guides apart with only the crankshaft at TDC with cylinder 1 at the up stroke? I didn’t have everything lined up like you.
Have you ran into the issue where the balance shaft upper guide bolt holes are different from engine to engine. I have three blocks, and two are short, and one is long. How do I get the right guides? Thanks for any info!
there's only one way to win as a tech on this engine,its infested with chains,this design you need to think slick,those links runs hot,that's the cause of the stretch,the best lubricant with sticking power to wipe the heat off is DURA LUBE,i use in my 5.4 chain infested v8,using this product gave me back my 19 mpg in a van,and no friction,the peace of mind is worth the price,every 3rd change add one a few days before draining,forget the chains
Personally I never quote the balance shaft chain. The parts are insanely expensive. I only quote the main chain guides and tensioner. Never had one come back with issues. Saves the customer about $1500 making the job less than 3k instead of 4K or more.

I’m so not ready lol

O now you have to change the shafts and sprockets…and oiler?
Smh….amateur
Designed future failure feature.
Screw all that. When are they going to finally get rid of chains?
