If your picture shows its current state, pop the bearings out and reinstall them clocked accordingly to block the passages.

The block is at machine shop, and I'm not sure if you can reach the back bearing with girder being in the way, its 7 bolt

Yea, when I did mine I didn't need to access anything through the top. You should be able to see everything through the bottom or even through the hole circled.

Take a long extension, put a socket on it and bang out the old bearing. Then flip the socket around so then you can slide the bearing on the socket end and use that to feed the bearing back through the hole. Give it a few taps to get it started and then flip the socket back around and finish off getting it seated in place.

I've also heard the there is a freeze plug or something that can be used to access the oil port but that's something I'm not completely sure of.

Also, make sure you get the better quality delete kit which had the oil passages in the nub too keep from causing friction and scoring anything up.

You could put the BS shaft back in and not connect it's belt. It will leak some oil around the bearings but not more than it does normally.

I was leaning toward this option, but is there a way to make it not leak oil?

The leak is internal and its how it usually operates anyway.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying that, I was afraid its going to be leaking outside and drip on the ground. Would Kiggly HLA help stabilize the oil pressure?

What is your concern?

The only true concern when doing these, and the reason for flipping the bearing is mostly to ensure that oil pressure stays at a good level. The concern is never really with oil leaking.

Yes as mentioned above, I'm concerned with oil pressure drop, just don't want to deal with oil issues when its going to be in the car.

Leaving the balance shaft in is the natural state.
