Installation
10. Press the new crankshaft and balance shaft seals into the pump housing using a mandrel.
11. Install new pins and a new sealing ring into the cylinder block.
12. Apply to the split surface of the pump (in the middle of the flange part) a thin bead of sealant, lubricate the holes for the bolts with sealant (to avoid leaks, do not fill the engine with oil earlier than 30 minutes after installing the pump).

13. Install the pump and tighten the bolts to 12 Nm.
14. Install the oil receiver, tighten the bolts to 12 Nm.

15. Install the oil pan.
16. Secure the front balance shaft, install the sprocket and tighten the bolt to 29 Nm.
17. Secure the rear balance shaft, fit the sprocket and tighten the bolt to 25 Nm.

18. Lubricate the rubbing surfaces of the balance shaft gears with molybdenum grease.
19. Align the groove on the edge of the balance shaft with the pointer on the gear housing.
20. Install the gear housing, replacing the gasket. Tighten the bolts and nut. Secure the rear balance shaft with a 100 mm long, 6.0 mm diameter stud and tighten the bolts to 25 Nm.
21. Make sure that the pointer on the balance shaft sprocket aligns with the pointer on the oil pump housing.
22. Remove the stud and screw in the threaded plug with a new seal. Tighten the plug to 29 Nm.
