where is the best place to get the parts for the balance shaft removal? i have been lookin on ebay and there are a few different kits with different numbers of parts and im confused as to why some kits have more parts than others.

The cheapest way is to just buy the stubby shaft (~$12) and pull the rear (oil pump) shaft off and replace it with the stubby shaft. Then just cut the belt for the front shaft and put washers on the back side of the front balance shaft sprocket and tighten it down so it doesn't move.

Otherwise you have to punch out the front 2 bearings and punch in the new ones so the oil holes don't line up.

Either way blocks enough of oil flow to the shaft. I've done both ways and both cars are running fine with higher oil pressure.
