Not all balance shafts are the same. PET shows p/n 944 102 201 07 for 1983-84, 944 102 923 00 for 1985-1995 2.5L and 3.0L, and 944 102 023 01 for the 1989 2.7L.
There was also a change in the cover design. Early engines had a bearing caps on the BS, late engines had the bearing cap integrated with the cover.
I'm sure you know that you can't swap late BS covers - they're matched with the block they came on.
Why do you ask?
