you only need three parts (md092785 cap,md098626 plug,and mf665543 sealin bearing) these parts are used in the 4g61 engine.

1992 mirage with 1.6 dohc no balance shafts were used in that engine. parts will cost $25.00 send me an email.

no just one bearing. oil travels into the front of the balance shaft and out the back. when you block off the front oil channel and remove

the balance shaft you have infact disabled the oiling to the rear bearing............

it was a little agervating but easy to do i still have motor in car if you follow the vfaq forum and it goes good it just getting the motor to drop down far enought to pull the shaft out.

You can leave the front shaft in since the engine is still in the car.

the vfaq had both ways to do it out of car and in car. i wanted the weight out and the way they have you drop the motor down really low just make sure you don't let it slip off and check all you vac lines.
