1994 1997 Honda Accord How to Properly Align the Balance Shafts When Replacing the Timing Belt

Describes the easily overlooked but important step of aligning the balance shafts when installing the timing belt.

The cause of strange engine vibrations - shaking the car while driving and idling, rear view mirrors vibrating - may be due to improper alignment of the balance shafts when a timing belt is replaced.

Thanks a lot I appreciate that my friend keep it up

that oil pump pulley you were aligning at the end has 3 rotations one of them fits the whole screwdriver while the others feel block. an easier way would be to line it up then if it don't fit do one whole rotation and check again if not do it one more time and it should fit in. its just 1 of 3 rotstions.

I just had timing belt replacement completed on my accord. I believe the balance shaft may not be timed properly. I get a vibration around 2500 rpm. It wasn't there before the service. It's not shaking or anything severe, but theres a noticible vibration. At highway speeds everything in the car buzzes from the vibration/hum. Would the lower shaft being not timed cause a vibration, or a severe shake?

i have two accords, 91 and 93.
both are different.
the 2.2 engine.
the 93 has a DOT on the gear that align up at 12 o'ciock position with the idle gear align up with its notch at 12 o’clock or notch on cover too..
the 91 has the dot align on the right side at about 5 o’clock position.

Hello Friend.
I'm in Brazil and I have a Honda Accord 95 when I disassembled my engine I noticed that the balancing shafts and their bushings are very worn, do you know what is possible to do?
Sorry I'm using google translator.

What kind of bolt is it I lost mine when I tired to take this out

How do I replace the left balance shaft? Previous repair done by unknown person damage the end of the shaft. The balancer belt along with the corresponding was missing when I removed the cover as it was broken. I just picked up the car. It runs but with a mild valve tick and vibrations

The easiest way is to remove the oil pump, stuck the hole behind it and align the marking, coz there are gear inside that balance shaft/ oil pump not in a correct installation...done.
