Engine Balance
Educate me.
Inline four cylinder engines generally have balance shafts.
V8's have harmonic balancers on the crankshaft.
What do six cylinder engines have? What about V12s? Boxer 4's?
It seems to me that inline 4 and V8s should be a balance desinge, while V6's and Boxer 6's should produce tons of vibration. What am I missing?
