Default Re: Counterweighted Crank

I am sure that Herm is correct on the Babbitt details.
There is another problem with the article, the dynamic balance of a 4 cyl inline motor can never be achieved due to the differences in acceleration of the pistons.
You can get close and at low speeds it will be perceived as so, but still not correct.
