Thanks for the reply, well I really don't see the balance shaft as a being a big deal if it is there just to smooth out the motor at idle. I am going back to see them today to tell them about another possible problem they are going to have to check the lobe lift on the cam as they are different on the z, w, and 96 and on acording to Haynes. I'll see if I can find out what year the block is (I like to know just how bad I have been lied to) I'll let you know how it goes. Oh and they must be a little worried they keep on saying I should put in a v8 lol.
thanks Tom O
