14 CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY
Notes:
• The latest oil transfer plate is fitted without a joint
or sealant; always give the correct engine number
when parts are needed.
• There are two plugs in the balancer frame, a
short tapered plug with a hexagonal socket head
and a long plug with a square socket head. These
plugs control the flow of oil through the balancer
frame. The position of the plugs is decided by
which side of the engine the filter is fitted. When
the filter is fitted on the left side, the short plug is
fitted in the side of the balancer and the long plug
is fitted in the bottom (14A.26/B). When the filter is
fitted on the right side of the engine, the short plug
is fitted in the bottom of the balancer and the long
plug is fitted in the side (14A.26/C).
Caution: Removal of these plugs can cause
damage to the threads in the balancer frame and a
new balancer frame will be needed. When a
balancer unit is to be fitted, ensure that the
lubricating oil flow through the balancer frame is
correct for the position of the lubricating oil filter.
6 Release the setscrews and remove the rear
cover of the balancer frame (14A.23/A6). A hammer
and a suitable drift will be necessary to remove the
rear cover from the dowels.
7 Remove the balance weights (14A.23/A5).
Ensure that the gear of the driven weight does not
damage the bush in the balancer frame.
8 Dismantle the lubricating oil relief valve,
operation 19A-09.
9 Clean the lubricating oil passages with an
approved kerosene cleaning solution and dry them
with low pressure compressed air.
