Did you block off the oil supply to the counter balance shaft. You said you removed it well i know for a fact on the ecotech there is a 3/8" hole that supplies oil to the counter balance shaft. If you don't block if off you don't get oil pressure!!! I drilled and tapped my oil hole for the counter shaft. It was easily accessable through the removable coolant/rear main plate but i think the block on the Buicks is all 1 piece at the back ?? confirmation anyone. Anyhow i'd start there cause for sure it would have had oil pumped to the plane/ball roller support bearings for lubrication.
