Did you know that torsional "twist" is necessary in a modern computer controlled vehicle? That's how a misfire is detected by the computer. The system is so sensitive that it measures the slight increase and then decrease in crankshaft speed every time a cylinder fires. If it doesn't detect this minute variation, it knows a cylinder has misfired, and it knows which one. After a certain amount of misfire, the "check engine" light comes on.
