balancing shafts allignment

Quintin

Hi all,

Busy replacing my timing/balancing chain. Just about completed it, but just to find that the balancing chain is 2 links off the mark, how ever the shafts seem to be in the right place. Far right top, pointing up, crank pointing down, middle left pointing down, top far left cant tell.....

Q: Do i need to strip it all again, or can i leave it?

they must be aligned correctly or you will get severe vibration from the engine

Thank you for this.
Okay according to the photo my middle sproket is too far to the right. Is there anyway i can adjust it without removing the timing chain again?
