- VR exec & HZ Wagon w/ VP V6
OK, so i'm going through the traditional "should I / shouldn't I remove the balance shaft" on my VP V6 during rebuild?
I've read lots of threads where people are stressing about removing them (like this one :whistling), but i can't seem to find anything about EV6 (Pre-Eco) motors and what they're like after the balance shaft is gone.
I'm rebuilding the motor with an ACL Race Rebuild kit for more comp, will be running YT 1.7 RR's, and a Wade 992a cam. Now obviously i would like to run some slightly heavier duty valve springs, but then from what i've been reading that tends to kill the tensioner on a single row timing chain, and a double-row seems to be a preferred replacement, but this disables the balance shaft.
So if you have any experience with this, a link to another thread i've missed, an opinion/suggestion or question please post! I want to know what to expect once it's gone...
Cheers...
