I've never seen a 180 degree V8 crank without counterweights. I've also never seen a V8 using a 180 degree crank that has a counterbalance shaft. So, you can pretty much throw out that whole paragraph.

Yep. the only thing that complicates the whole picture is when we start talking about the Porsche 917 180 degree flat V12. I don't believe it had counterweights
