Ok so when I bought this motor and was striping it down, inside the oil pan I found a piece of a bearing (pic 1). So I thought that is was a main or rod bearing. It was not! So today I was going to install the block off bearings and I noticed ( after I took the front bearing off) that the rear bearing was not there (pic 2), I thought it was odd until I put the pieces together.... That was the bearing that came off. So I looked at the balance shaft and Bam! the balance shaft was rubbing on the block creating the opening ( where the rear bearing would go) bigger... Pic 3,4,5 Notice how the balace shaft was worn down
So, the rear block off bearing will not fit in the bore cause its now too small, neither will the front bearing fit.
Question:
Can I just block off the front bearing and leave the rear one as is??? I know will somewhat loose oil pressure, but will it be too much to cause damage if any???
What Can I do... Thanks Guys
