hmmm I contacted gmtuner and cloyes but neither could help bar cloyes saying they supplied 3 sets to lotus and that was all... circao $5K in prototype tooling etc.

so where the heck did you get one from and how much was it lol

 

Sorry, I missed this post. I got the short chain and new guide directly through GMracing. the kit is XGH676 and you need to cant them through the GM tuner source website. you can use this form:

I ended up talking with Carmen Smith. She is the program manager for the sport compact drag racing team.

 

anybody read this thread and consider doing this?

Z22SE.co.uk • View topic - Removing Balance Shafts

what you need to do is this

step 1; find a 30mm socket and a 15" long 1/2" extension bar.

step 2; place the engine up on end onto the flywheel and slide the socket into the front balancer shaft hole.

step 3; note the position of the block face on the extension bar, then remove the bar and fit some masking tape to the bar so you can mark the height of the block.

step 4; refit the bar and mark the face of the block onto the masking tape, spin the bar so the mark is all the way round

step 5; remove bar (again) and then mark a new line 7.5mm further away from the socket

step 6; refit the bar into the block, you now should have the new line 7.5mm from the block face

step 7; using a BIG hammer carefully knock the rear bearing towards the flywheel by 7.5mm (until the new line is level with the block)

step 8; repeat step 7 for the other bearing

job done cheers..

this will block off the rear oil ways and mine has 80 psi oil pressure at tickover

ps: the bearings need a good hit to move :roll:
