My freshly built 406 is is internally balanced (specs below) The rotating assembly was balanced together with the flywheel and balancer. I understand a large 8" balancer is not necessary, the engine builder installed a narrow little 6" balancer. This is all well and good, I'm just not use to seeing such a small balancer. So whats the pro's/cons with a small balancer? I guess not having a lot of weight on the front of the crank is a good thing, but is a 6" balancer still enough? This is a street motor that won't see rpm's much higher than 6000. Here's the specs from the printout supplied by the engine builder: (kinda greek to me) What do these numbers mean?
