Balance Shaft, to have or not to have, that is the question!

[OneSickTSi]

I'm just asking for peoples opinions about their balance shaft beung removed, do you get more vibration in the cockpit, alot more vibration? is it an easy project and is it worth it. and has there been any problems with removing a balance shaft?
Thanks, Chris

I have searched this out - & I'm pulling mine - the only problem I heard was SOME guys who deleted the intake manifold support lost the gaskets due to vibration & lack of support - there are also plenty of guys who deleted the brackets & said they had no probs.

mine were removed when i got the car but i dont get any vibrations that are uncomfortable, how smooth do you expect your car to run, its not a luxury car = )

I think it's worth it. Is it easy to do NO! Mine vibrates pretty bad (I have poly motor mounts though) I like it better!

Mine was fine, no noticable difference, until I put the prothane solid mounts in. I think that it would vibrate lke crazy with or without the balance shafts when you are using solid mounts.
