Balance Shaft Delete - Success Stories - need solid BS bearing

I am considering the balance shaft delete on my engine rebuild. I have done a of searching but would like a comment or two from anyone who has done it on their daily driver. 200,000 on my 2002 Aero Wagon.
Can’t find another car that I like as much as this one so getting it set for another 200,000…
Are you happy with the delete with regards to vibrations? What about on the highway?
My plan was to do the delete but I am having a hard time blocking off the oil gallery on the upper balance shaft bearing (intake side). The lower center bearing tapped over and fully blocked the oil passage.
The other one will not block off. There is always a hiss of air getting past. It looks like the oil passage opening there is larger the coverage the original balance shaft bearing will provide on its front or rear edge.
I would need a solid bearing (as some have described, with no oil passage). 44,07mm But there is no machine shop in my area. Has anyone else sourced one of these or had one made?
So two questions here I guess… Thanks
