Rotate the engine clockwise until the bore (2) in the crankshaft balancer aligns with the mark (1) on the engine front cover.





Remove the crankshaft bearing cap tie plate hole plug (2) and the seal ring (1).





To ensure proper crankshaft top dead center (TDC) alignment, the retention pin should fit easily through the bore in the crankshaft tie plate and into the crankshaft. Binding of the retention pin could affect proper engine timing.

Install EN-952 - fixing pin (1) in order to fix the crankshaft in TDC position.
