Hey All, if you read my old post http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/showthread.php?t=33038
you will see I have had a rattle in my engine since I got it. I have finally checked out the Balance shaft.......this is after, Gearbox, Crankshaft and every other possible thing that can move.
Basically I removed my timing cover (bout 1 hr job) and can sit there and move the end of my Balance shaft around and in and out. Its only minimal play but would make a f&%k load of noise when running. The Timing chain and tensioner looks brand new, so that was good news.
Either today or tomorrow ill be removing the Balance shaft end pully putting it all back together and running the car with out the Balance shaft all together.(although it will still be in the engine). Ill take some pics and let you know how it all goes. Any comment or suggestions are welcome.
