A method for securing a balancer shaft module to an engine is provided, the method including the steps of passing a mounting feature into at least two mounting apertures of the balancer shaft module; simultaneously rotating two of the mounting features within the mounting aperture, wherein the simultaneous rotation of the two mounting features laterally moves the balancer shaft module with respect to the engine; and securing the balancer shaft module to the engine. In addition, a mounting feature for securing a balancer shaft module to an engine is provided, the mounting feature having: a top portion; a mounting cylinder secured to the top portion, the mounting cylinder being centrally located on the top portion; a securement opening passing through the top portion and the mounting cylinder; and wherein the mounting cylinder has a non-uniform outer wall such that a center of the securement opening is offset from a center of the top portion such that rotation of the top portion rotates the securement opening about the center of top portion.
