bs bearing question

[herms99gst]

i have a 7 bolt block that only has 98,000 miles on it. The balance shafts or in their still and i need to replace the ones i messed up trying to install them in my 6 bolt. Can i use the used bearings? I mean the only reason they are their is to block the oiling hioles right? And do you really need the bearing with no oil hole?

As long as your eliminating the balance shafts on the 6 bolt block and just using them to plug the oil holes... then yes you can use them

Just make sure not to damage them while taking them out and re-installing

Thanks for the help that will save about 40 bucks. Ive used the 32mm socket technique and i keep screwing up the bearing. So, ill just got to autozone and rent the tool, and hopefully i wont mess them up.....two bearings, the only thing holding me back from my bottom end being complete wth.
