So...
Few weeks ago I siezed my 4g63. Somehow I was able to fix it. If anyone has done this and you need a quick fix - look to your crank bearings, it's most likely that you have one of these has siezed and needs replacing. If you're lucky like I was you wont have to do any machining of the crankshaft if the grinding of the bearing was minimal on the shaft.

The worse issue is that during the process of siezing the engine on the crankshaft the right balance shaft got torqued bad enough to gouge the front bs bearing, sieze
it and consequently cause the rear bs bearing to spin.
Now, I drove it around like this for about 30 miles to get it to shop, and it made the worst noises.

What to do now...
I could do a BS delete.
Since the rear BS bearing spun out of it's casting I can't just put a new bearing in to block the oil hole. (The new bearing is loose in the engine)
I also dont have an OEM oil pump retrofit "stub" to replace the left BS like I've read about in the BS delete procedure.

Now for the questions -
Can I have a shop machine a "shim" bearing to fit tightly into the block and hold my oil preasure at that rear galley.

Is it possible to not replace the left oil pump BS with that stub and just hack off the shaft instead? Whats the difference btween that part and just a cut off BS? Weight?

Last - is it even a good idea to delete on this truck and this engine? The manufacturers obviously put it there for a reason and I hear that it's not just for you but(t) also the vibrations on the motor.

Thank for your help
