• A cast iron, 5-bearing, 8-counter weight crankshaft has been adopted. The shrinkage fitted drive gear is attached to the crankshaft and the crankshaft drives the balance shaft.
• There is no positioning key where the crankshaft sprocket and crankshaft pulley are installed. The crankshaft sprocket must be installed using the SST with the No.1 cylinder aligned with TDC position. Tightening pressure on the tightening bolt is used to secure the crankshaft sprocket and crankshaft pulley.
