i seen on another forum that you can remove the balance shaft and take weight out of the motor. what is the down side of this i was thinking if removed i would onlt have the timing belt to worry about.

 

The only down side is a sight vibration which isn't noticeable at all. My last 3 dsm's had them removed and would suggest anyone to do it.

 

when you remove them you don't have to put the belt on pulleys right?

 

It depends, read the write up on www.vfaq.comstep for step and you'll answeryour question.

 

thanks i see how everything works and off to the dealership to see if i can get the parts ordered.

 

The dealership doesn't offer that.

 

the vfaq had the part numbers for the dealership but have seen the kit on ebay the differents is the shaft design the shaft on the vfaq show has a grove in it and the one on ebay don't.

 

Its not"kit" you buy from the dealer, the vfaq gives you part numbers that you can use.


Never buy b/s removal kits off ebay thats a big no no.

 

ok i have the part numbers off the web site was going to order those in the morning when they open. seen were Sebba said the dealership didn't offer it but i have the numbers for the dealership.i did see two kits on ebay but was going to ask first before getting something not good. the one was the parts from the dealership and the other had a different shaft.

 

there are other places you can buy the removal kits from. Like buschur racing makes a kit here

so there are other places that are better than ebay, but also cheaper i bet then going to the dealership.
