Does it still have balance shafts?

As of right now, I am not to worried about mods. It's got a e3 16g, 2g mani, k&n, turbo xs boost controller, and thats pretty much it. It does not have the balance shafts removed. Mods will come with time, I still gotta do some reading, and see what direction I want to go in. E-85 has always sparked my intrest, but I think thats a little further down the road.

UPDATE!!
Well steve got it on the lift, and found out that the balance shaft belt, got something caught in it, and was shredding the belt. So all is good. I should have her back by monday or tuesday.

And I answered you in an earlier post. Its running a walbro 190, i think the ad said. I wasnt informed of any prexisting fuel issues before the sale, wouldve made me think a little more about buying it.

Since its been a while, I figured I would post up a little update.
The talon has been taking a nap under a blanket of snow, until today when my family mechanic stopped by. After a few minutes and a compression test, we found out it had none in a couple cylinders....compression that is. I guess the lower timing belt pulley wiggled loose a bit, allowing the belt to jump some teeth and bend some valves.
So, I will need a head, and then we will check over the rest of it as well.
