On my GS-T the front balance shaft is bent a bit due to a connecting rod failure. I would like to ask if a b-shaft is the same on a 95-99 GSX Turbo as on my car?

This car is my daily driver, and my cousin has a car just like mine with the balance shaft removed and it vibrates a bit.

The engine should run fine if they are removed properly.

Yeah, very well if you have your rotating assembly balanced before you put it back in.

Some cars shake more than others, some not that much at all. It's just the luck of the draw.

by removing the balance shaft, the engine does not make more shaking, more is felt. yes some blocks are more balance then others and some are not.

Yeah, as long as you do it properly, ANY car, regardless of mods is safe to do that on.
