FWIW - Speaking of the Balance Shaft issue - my CEL came on shortly
after I bought the car (I use the term "car" loosely) and I took it to
the dealer for diagnosis. When I learned how deep in the engine this
problem lurked I spoke with dealer employees afout what I had. One
parts guy/Repair guru he told me what he has seen personally. One
owner went the full 'fix-it' route and spend ~$4000-$5000 . He told my
new friend the car ran no better or worse than it did when the issue
came up. Another customer took the route of "not going to spend the
money" - will just drive it" he's still driving it today, no worse for
wear. YMMV.
I finally resolved my problems (partly) by installing an
alternator and a electronic shifter assy.
i still have a small short to locate and fix, then I need to service
tr trans ad replace the conductor plate. That *should* fix my limp
home status.

I found the link on a sticky post on 164s on benzworld.
You can buy a set of DVDs on eBay From various sellers for $15 that has the
WIS/EPC. It’s a PITA to get installed and is kinda funky to run As it requires
a VM in Windows (included in the install) but all the details are in there.

I did that too, some useful stuff, looks like mostly for his later model cars.
It looks like he is using his website as a library but all the docs are not
linked off the main page. I wonder if most of it came from the WIS.

Subject: [MBZ] "balance shaft" problem M272/M273 engines
Details on the cam/balance shaft issue with 350 engines, If you're out
of warranty you're...
Remove / install balance shaft, replace if necessary (engine 272 removed)
Equipped with M272 or M273 Engine Check Engine Light On / Fault Codes
Current and/or Stored in ME-SFI Control Module / Oil Leaking at Camshaft
Adjustment Solenoid
This is due to the positioning of the timing chain driven camshafts
relative to the crankshaft and can be caused by a worn sprocket on the
balance shaft on engine M272 or by a worn guide (idler) gear for the
timing chain on engine M273.
