Bummer - sorry to hear. Hope you succeed in finding the original balance shaft covers. If not I imagine you could have a machine shop get involved (but at a price. . .)

If it's not prying too much, do you mind telling me what the Darton sleeving set you back? I've been considering this on a spare engine I have downstairs (I have everything necessary to make a 3.0L turbo engine out of it, except the proper bore sizes). IIRC it's something like $2k out the door for the whole shebang plus whatever it costs to ship the engine to/from Darton. But I'd rather hear it straight from someone who's done it.

Thanks and good luck to you.
