"I no longer build a Packard V8 without balancing it."
ok. That means that at one time u DID build them withOUT balancing. So u have done it BOTH ways.
What SPECIFIC advantages have u experienced with balanced vs UNbalanced???? Are they so much smoother?? quieter???? Better longenvity??? fuel mileage???? significant HP increase??? What????
OR, let me pose the question in a different way:
Why did u start balancing after having built so many with success as UNbalanced???
The first pic is a Jag V12 crank. It behaves the same as the Packard V8 crank on the knife edges.
Ignore wooden block. It is only a safety when left unattended.
