Well considering the Engine is the Heart of a porsche, i think this topic of "balance" is the BEAT of the Engine.
I need to start disassembling and washing this engine see what I have or more practical what I wish I didn't have, as I do I'll think more about engine balance.
I'm starting to think its the road to perfection.
Any more info on this subject would be great.

As a rule of thumb, the better balanced an engine throughout all moving parts, the greater it's reliability under stress or high revs. An F1 motor is insanely well balanced. A well balanced engine also makes more power.
