Balance shaft elim kit, timing chain, front of engine pics


Recommended Posts

The info is here, just no pictures to help. I’m at the stage where I’m now putting the front of the engine on. I purchased the bsek from dads, but the instructions are vague w/regard to how to properly install the entire kit. I have the guides where they go, and the pump modified, and bolted on, can somebody refer me to an actual thread or video that shows detailed pics so I can put this thing together correctly?

 Thanks as always.

I remember doing this years ago and also purchased my parts from @Dad . I think I used pictures and information that was here on Starquestclub and the instructions the parts came with. 

 

Can't remember any of it now but yeah........ lol

The round ring gets pressed into the front upper balance shaft hole.  it blocks off the oil passage down to the main bearing,  you can use a bushing installer or flat plate  just slam it in there flush,   I always added some retaining compound because we had it there   Just be sure it goes in straight and tight,   You are now done with the upper shaft area,
 Take the stub shaft and slide it into the oil pump in place of the lower shaft,    where the flats are clamp it into a vice ( be sure to leave clearance between back of oil pump and top of vice so the gasket surface doesn't get scratched,   clean oil from threads and install the one bolt  with some blue thread locker and torque it ( I think 45 lbs, whatever factory is for the bolt to balance shaft)

Install your oil pump to block,  take chain and both gears together and slide them  into place,  If I recall teeth on the small gear are to be closer to oil pump- don't pay attention to timing marks sonce there are no balance shafts,  you can dummy them up to check alignment of the big and small gear, that's important.     Once you figure direction  install the woodruff key in oil pump,  slide gears and chain together on crank and oil pump- BE SURE KEY DOES NOT FALL OUT!

  Next  put a box end wrench on the other bolt,  be sure no oil in oil pump threads,  again blue threadlock on threads,  deep well 6 point socket  and tourque the bolt
( The box end wrench will spin up against your socket so you can torque it -  I think a picture of that is on my facebook page.

Hope this helps,
Dad
