MODS: you can delete this thread. Turns out the bearings I got had 3 oil holed bearings, and if you go to a site like rockauto, there are 2 drilled and 1 solid.

UPDATE: I knocked the bearing out and itnturns out the rear balance shaft has no oil hole... how is this possible?

I had my engine built by the local machine shop, and I am installing the GSC rear balance shaft elimination kit, but I noticed that this position of this bearing is clocked (I THINK) incorrectly (used a 90° pick to check it). Can someone please confirm this for me? Because this thing needs oil.

What "o'clock" does this need to be at for oil delivery?

Also need to know what "o'clock" the front bearings need to be to block off oil flow.

That is the wrong bearing. The rear does not get oil flow to it, it comes from the center of the shaft. put the fronts at 9:00 if traditional.

How does the rear get any oil to it without an oil passage? The GSC balance shaft delete shaft (not stubby) has the channel but...is it just like splash lubed?

JFC if I just took it out of the bag and looked at it closely, its hollow and is lubed from the front case. WHERES MY ADDERALL 😫
