I've read several vfaqs on replacing my timing belt and I know that it's very important to have the oil pump phased correctly because it's connected to a balance shaft. My question is what about the other balance shaft that is turned by the shorter belt. Does this need to be phased too or do I just need to line up the timing marks and I'll be ok? Thanks
 
Before you take off the balance shaft belt,. Wad up a couple of pieces of duct tape and place by the oil pump sprocket and the balance shaft sprocket so they don't move.
 
There is no phase on the front shaft as it is turned directly. The reason the rearshaft has a phase is because it is driven via a set of gears behind the oil pump sprocket.. even when the oil pump lines up the shaft will be in one of three positions. Only one of them is right.
