got a call from the shop doing my block work and he asked if our motors had a "balance shaft". Hell i had no idea. i tore the motor down months ago. Apparently some 3.8's came with them. they are behind the timing cover above the cam.
Anybody?
Thanks
 
the 3.8l GM motors had a balancer shaft in the pushrod area, our motors do not have this, just the standard balancer on the crank pulley.
 
The Ford 3.8L motors in FWD applications like Taurus / Sable / Windstar had balance shafts. Not used in RWD applications as far as I know.
