Please Advise on my Evo 5 Balance Shaft.
Hi guys,
just wonder do we need polishing to the balance shaft journal?
Im rebuilding my evo 5 engine due to a fail rod bearing.
I noticed my balance shaft journal condition is about the same as my cranks journal after a burnt rod bearing. What should i need to do? Do i need to replace the 2 balance shaft?
I also noticed there are bearings exactly like the main and rod bearing.
Or i just need to change the balance shaft bearing?
Please advise.

Thanks Meckert...But i thought when i purchased the ACL bearings for the main & rod its already comes in the package?
Will it be difficult to find the balance shaft "U" type bearings?

i think what 94awdcoupe was saying is you need to measure the balance shaft that spun the bearing.
If it's not circular anymore (from uneven wear) then you need to bin it. i.e. there is no point polishing a balance shaft that is beyond repair.
Then you need to decide if you want to replace it with a 2nd hand item, new, or remove them all together. There are countless threads talking about balance shaft removals. You should talk to your engine builder and find out which is best for you.

1) Replace the oem bs to mitubishi oem bs eliminator stub kit (but there are 2 shafts and which to replace? both?)
2) Polish the current 2 mit oem bs and change the rear & front bearings only???
Pls advise...

Please verify they are the same. Should be as they are both a 4G63. Is there anything else you need from the US that is not available.
