If the oppys. have 180 degree crank. You will balance the crank without any bobweights. then balance the rotating assembly like normal. With the 180 degree crank the rotating assemblies offset each other. Any good machine shop you trust should be able to do it.

Rooster,
Why didn't you ask me? (or why didn't I read tis sooner?) I've not only known this but do this. I thought we talked about it at the AA. Then again you really weren't yourself that weekend.  :doh:

Thanks to all that have replied, more people out there wanted this than I thought, please remember my original thread, "SINGLES" . I'm quite sure I now have the twin cylinder engines down also, however, until I can do one and test it myself, I don't really want to do the twins yet. the last thing I want to do is give someone a peice as critical as this and it not be 100%.

So, you twin guys/gals stand by.
