Balancer isn't as badly needed on an inline 6 since it's zero balanced unlike the V8s. Quite a few 4.0L engines have tossed their balancers and kept going till extremely boiled out.

I watched Pinks last night, where an '87 Mustang threw his balancer. Made a pass anyway, and threw a rod. Not that I'm going to make any full throttle passes, lol - but I'll park it anyway. I can just imagine the sheer absurdity of doing a quarter mile in a bone-stock American with 196OHV and one barrel carb. Anyway - it's time to work the phone and exercise the credit card. _________________________________________________________________ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
