Did you use a blank round bearing in the dside balance shaft front bore to block the oil port that fed the bshaft?


I don't even own a Gen I yet, but if the BSEK on the Astron (4G54B) is anything like the one on the Sirius (4G63T), leaving the original balance shaft bearing in place (without rotating it to block the oil passage) is a sure recipe for low oil pressure. Most kits come with the blank bearing for this purpose.

That would be my first suggestion. Would be an irritating, if not painful, lesson learned.
