Balance Shaft Removal Question

[dsm_illicious]

Who's done it? Where to get the parts? Is it worth it? I have 130K on my stock timing belt & components w/no issues. I see www.slowboyracing.com has a kit available but are there any others that are better, worse, or different? Need Feedback plz.

i have the slowboy kit and it worked nicely - i don't think there's a better one out there - i saved a few bucks by buying it from them on ebay - i believe their user name is slowboymgh

Sounds good. Did you do the install yourself?

You can call Tallahase Mitsubishi. They have a kit for $35.. Look it up on google.

Wow, looks like a lot of work...Is it worth the effort?

i'd say its worth the effort, save a few pounds and you can have piece of mind that your bs belt won't snap and get caught up in the timing belt and cost you a head job.

I think I'll have to pay a shop to do it...I don't have the tools. What's the average price for this kind of work?

Is that for a 1g because that what it looks like. Is the 1g and 2g balance shaft removal the same or are there more/different steps involved in the 2g balance shaft removal and if so where are the installs for those.
