There is a difference between translational vibrations and torsional ones. Every single slider-crank ICE is subject to torsional vibrations in the crankshaft. If you hit the natural frequency of the shaft, the loads couple and stresses skyrocket. This has been a consideration in engine design for 100 years. On 4-cylinder engines, a torsional damper is usually not required because the shaft is so short, the natural frequency resides at around 10,000 RPM. A 6-cyl, especially an I-6, is typically not as lucky. Dyno charts are one thing. I'd also like to see fatigue and strain gauge charts.http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....=3198Sil240 wrote:Actually the rubber in the pulley is just for noise supressionThe RB is internally balanced, the only motors that are externally balanced are like chevy 350's old V8's for the most part i have yet to see a 4 or 6 cyl that was externally balanced
