    No. The balance shaft eliminator kits fixes oil pressure The balance shafts are a time bomb waiting to fubar your day. Wait til you see one that's been shredded...

    Okay I didn't run it long enough to get a good reading. Sorry for my misspoked!! When *fully* warmed it goes down to a more reasonable 40-50 psi at idle, rising up to about 80 at cruising speeds. (Apparently it hits a pressure relief valve there.)

    No, I can't post a video, but thanks for asking, LOL.... when I drive this truck I tend to use both hands, then when I have the oil gauge hanging into the passenger window, and trying to hold my phone camera on that might be problematic. Most of my years driving I've been a lazy driver with auto & power steering.

    Oh, and I'm pretty sure I still have the balance shafts in there. I may never know unless I go taking it apart someday.
