A new idea for balance shaft?

[Nobleracer307]

Hey guys,

This is my first engine rebuild and I have a 1990 turbo charged engine. I ordered my topline rebuild kit from machv but the balanceshaft bearings i have do not fit in the block. They are to small and slide in and out of their bores. I think i am going to have to go with a removal kit but i have absoloutley no money . Literally... i might have like 8 dollars in my bank right now. But i did some research and apparently you can block off the oil going to the balance shaft bearings by replacing a bolt by a longer one? The oil lines going to the bs bearings is covered by this mythical bolt. I havent really looked yet but does anyone know where this bolt is? Or has anyone tried this technique?

Also can i just grind my balanceshaft off to make the nub? I don't see why not but no one has seemed to do this.

Thanks
Jordan

Don't use that balance shaft elimination kit unless you want your oil pump to seize up. The stubby shaft has no oil canal for lubrication of the shaft. The only stubby shaft you should use is the OEM Mitsubishi shaft.

That's a good kit, notice the balance shaft in that kit as opposed to the one in the PCI kit.

Go with the AMS one.

I wish I would have, I didn't see that they'll give your 150.00 for a core; just read that a second ago. I wonder if they would give me the kit for free if I gave them two cores, .
