- I got a "what if" for the math guru's Let say you want to take 4 cylinder engine and take out two pistons and run it as a two cylinder. You need to put weight back on the crank journals for the engin

- It isn't possible to balance a 4-cylinder engine completely, no matter what you do. All you can do is minimize the vibration. On the other hand, an in-line 6 cylinder engine or a V-12 can be balance

- Ok Neil, now that you gave me enough information to get me thinking, why is it that you can completely balance a V12 but not a V6 ? Now, to reduce the question, can a V-twin be completely balanced ?

- Think of a V-12 as being two inline- 6s arranged in a "vee". The I-6 is inherently a balanced layout so a V-12 will be as well. Ditto for a flat-12 like a Ferrari 512. When you take a balanced inlin

- What kind of crank are you talking about? Never thought about getting mine balanced--does it have something to do with the deck height? lance

- I never heard that V8 engines couldn't be fully balanced, Neil. If so, they certainly are smooth-running, as a rule. Another consideration occurs to me when discussing running a four-cylinder engine

- A well-balanced V-8 isn't bad at all but a well-balanced I-6 or V-12 is a thing of joy. In a V-8 there is still a "couple" that can't be compensated with balance weights. Some late 4-cyl engines are

- it becomes exceedingly imperative to ensure proper balance as bores become looser and out of round, usually improper deck heights "clearance" themselves, which is great, as long as the "rod" doesnt g
