Hey,
A couple of comments...
1) Get another gear. You could get a complete set, but you really don't need to. I could probably come up with a good used one if you need it. Email me privately.
2) I knew an older VSaab expert here in VT that experimented with an engine w/o the BS. It will run and doesn't shake too bad. But I wouldn't recommend it. Get the bearings changed out and put back the BS.
3) Now is the time to change things out. Don't skimp on reusing bearings. I'm tighter than bark on a tree when it comes to coin...but there's no better time than NOW to do it right!
