Balance Shaft Bearing

[JustAnotherVictim]

Do our cars have a balance shaft bearing?
I called Toyota to order one and he said he couldn't find anything but the shop was asking me to get them.
I didn't see anything by that name in the EPC.
Now I'm not sure but I think the shop means the rod bushings (not bearings). I'm not sure though, I wasn't home when he called today and they're closed now.

Thoughts?

Are they talking about the rings that go around the #4 main cap?

Doesn't sound like he's talking about the thrust-washers, what you're referring to Yellow.

I have no idea wtf that shop is talking about!!

Our motors dont have balance shafts, maybe its the oil pump shaft bearing?

Maybe you should take it to a different shop JAV.

This one doesnt seem to know much about the 7M.

That sounds right!

Edit: Both of those above posts sound right lol

I would bet they meant for the oil pump drive shaft, it looks similar to a balance shaft setup on a Honduh.

I was looking at that and I thought maybe that's what he was thinking about.

Well one of my friends who works on a lot of supras recommended the shop, the guy is actually pretty sharp. He's been on top of pretty everything I've thrown at him so I think he's just confused about that since I didn't give him the oil pump shaft with the block.

I'll call tomorrow and confirm what he's referring to.

Appreciate the opinions.

Ok, well I just talked to him and he did say oil pump shaft, it just sounds like that's what they call them in v-6 apps so that's what he's used to calling them.
