Removing Balance shaft belt

[Jay-Wel]

Would removing the balance shaft belt do anything other than add a little more vibration to the car? didnt replace it in the gst after replacing the timing belt just left it out since it was broken now the idle is jumping all over the place and dying if not rev'ed after 30 seconds or so. That wouldnt have anything to do with it would it?

That's got to vibrate like a mofo

Did you add the balance eliminator kit? Or just leave the belt off! As to remove it you have to do this mod correctly

if you left the belt off then you now have only one of the two balance shafts spinning and wasting oil pressure on the one that's not. do a delete before you fry your bearing from the unbalanced balance shafts you currently have.
