Thanks guys... I meant crank shaft, so thanks for catching my oversight....

FASTEDDY, I tore off the old pump, and after reading your reply, it sounds like the new pump will not work unless I add those items (The oil pump has a pressure relief valve under the large hex plug on the upper left of the pump. The valve is a spring resisted piston with oil pressure on the pump side. If the bore is scored, you lose a lot of oil pressure that way. The spring can be shimmed for higher pressure, too. I used a single flat washer under the spring. When the oil pressure exceeds the spring pressure, the piston uncovers a port in the side of the bore and the excess pressure is vented to the crankcase.)??

I found a KIT (balance shaft removal kit) on Rock-Auto, will that have all the items I need? I haven't reviewed the kit yet, but I'm just guessing as I write this...

You guys are fantastic....
