The size of the text that identifies the timing marks has been increased on the front and rear balancer gears for these engines. It is easier to read the larger timing marks. Also, a dimple is now used as the timing mark for the Standard Rotation on both the front and rear balancer gears. The use of the improved timing marks will help ensure that the balancer gears are correctly installed. The list that follows identifies the front and rear balancer gear assemblies that have the improved timing marks.
