what are counterbalance shafts made from
That is called a balance shaft.
There is a chain driven balance shaft on the 4.0 L SOHC engine for the 4X4 Ford Explorers / Rangers
It has an interference engine. The cam belt must be changed at 90,000 miles. The VTEC engine also has a balance shaft belt that also must be changed. Non-VTEC engine does not have the balance shaft belt.
Its in there all right Runs from the crank shaft and operates camshaft and balance shaft
I wouldn't think so, not on them.
To install the balance shaft belt on a Mitsubishi Mighty Max, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Remove any components obstructing access to the balance shaft assembly, then carefully align the balance shaft pulleys with the timing marks. Place the new belt over the pulleys, ensuring proper tension and alignment, then reassemble any removed parts. Finally, rotate the engine by hand to confirm that everything is aligned correctly before starting the engine.
It turns the balance shaft. The balance shaft helps reduce vibration in the motor. It is usually driven by a belt that is connected from the balance shaft to the crank shaft and a tention adjusting wheel used to apply tension to the belt. Hope this helps, Dirk.
It is located behind the timing belt.
Most likely a broken balance shaft belt
Yes it does have a balance shaft also known as a silent shaft.
Depending on the engine, some have a timing belt and a balance shaft belt.
