I am about to tackle this problem before I put the engine back in my car and I need some help clarifying things in the haynes manual before I jump into it. on page 2A-11 in step 11 The manual says: "Temporarily install one of the timing belt cover bolts through the hole in the left end of the timing belt adjuster arm." This is not referring to the allen wrench put in the back of the block for locking the rear balance shaft. There isn't a picture of this "adjuster arm" in the manual. Also in regards to the front balance shaft nothing is said about locking it in place so would it be safe to assume it has enough resistance/friction on it to not move or rotate? I do intend to mark the positions of all shafts before the belts are removed BTW. If I am successful I will turn this into a very detailed DIY for others to read. THX
