Scotty, the balance shaft failure was caused by water intrusion into the V of the engine. At the rear, the bearing is a sealed unit, and the water would collect and cause the bearing to rust and fail. There is a bulletin from Volvo on drilling a drain hole for the water so that it can no longer fill up the valley and damage the bearing.
Awesome that you got 2, Buchkas! Gonna be epic when you're done for sure. Hope I'm still alive to witness it...
