- VT S1 Calais Ecotec - VP Ute 3800
Hey guys, so I'm pulling the engine out of my ute to rebuild it later this week and will be doing nearly everything on it.
I want to keep the balance shaft and replace its bearings as well as the camshaft bearings.
If possible also the gears on the front.
Where do I get balance shaft bearings and do I need GMs special tools to do them?
I should say i have googled for them but not getting any results just people talking about deleting the shaft.
Also do I need a special cam bearing tool as well? I expect yes.
I have rebuilt a couple engines but never done cam or balance bearings.
Trans will be separated from engine as is a S1 buick so will be doing the rear main with the crank out.
