It's not a balance issue.....All 4 cylinder engines without harmonic/balance shafts shake. A 17:1 4-cylinder will shake ALOT, Only firing 2 cylinders per crank revolution makes this an Inherent issue.
All engine manufacturers balance rotating assembly's.

How is 6 greater than 8? All B series Cummins owners think their engine's are supreme. In my opinion if Cummins made a V8 version of the B series....It would be "all the rave"!
