    Leave them in as long term the motor won't last. Also I would highly recommend pulling them for inspection as the balancer bearings are the main culprit for oil pressure loss! Most people ignore those and wonder why they loose the motor

    And when it goes, so does a chunk out of the side of the block usually. Seen more than one failed that way, and a "reweld" of one.

    If the oil pressure is normal is it safe to assume all is well with the balancer shaft bearings?
