Pontiac G6 Balance Shaft Chain
The Pontiac G6 Balance Shaft Chain is designed to reduce the natural vibrations felt in the engine. An extra pair of counter rotating shafts is connected to the crankshaft so the feel inside the cabin remains smooth. Motors in an inline four and V6 configuration create offset reciprocating and firing forces. In the Balance Shaft Chain, by spinning its matched shafts at twice crank speed in opposite directions, these forces are canceled out. Among the Pontiac names, the Balance Shaft Chain is an easier answer than changing bank angles or utilizing split-pin crank throws because the chain enables designers to keep familiar blocks while enhancing refinement. The Balance Shaft Chain solution is mechanically simple. The attachment of the chain driven system to the crank sprocket will send the counterweights into perfect time, while drivers will enjoy the same levels of smoothness because every G6 variant with this setup follows the same arrangement. Even though flat or 90-degree V8 engines cancel out their own vibrations, the smaller G6 powerplants rely on the Balance Shaft Chain for the counterforce that is absent from the engine design. This allows the midsize Pontiac to cruise quietly at idle or at speed.

If one is operating on balance shafts, remove the retainer bolts, and the shafts themselves and noting each in order to avoid horrible vibrations from the engine. Wash all the assembly in solvent and check the tensioners, guides, chain, and sprockets for any signs of wear or damage; such parts must be replaced if there is visible damage. To confirm the crankshaft position before fitting of the balance shaft chain make sure that the timing mark is in the 6 o'clock position.

When the tensioner has been bolted and had its bolts tightened turn the drill bit to release the plunger and double check the timing marks.
