I can see the sleeve/plug in the hole for the upper ballance shaft.

Personally I never liked eliminting the ballance shafts. Some are OK with it. The upside is it is less parts to fail and it saves the rebuilder money.

The down side is the motor wont be as smooth and you may notice buzzing and vibration.
