Lifting your engine from an engine bay
taking of the oil pan and the front oil cover
removing balance shafts
replacing the balance shaft bearings and rotating them to block off the oil holes
plugging the one of the balance shaft holes with the cap (comes into the BSEK)
installing a stud (comes with BSEK) into the oil pump gears
plugging the hole for a Balance shaft tensioner pulley by allying some rtv on the bolt threads
