Balance shaft bearing. I assume you have an early 2005?

Most are fixable. Won't know until you pull the head and inspect to see if the block is damaged. Then it needs an engine.

I guess the issue is that water gets trapped in the valley and has no where to go damaging the balance shaft bearings. The later engines drained the water out better

Yep. A drainage hole is drilled when replacing the bearing.
