Yeah, one cannot fully balance these engines, but isn't the trick trying to get it as close as possible to reduce vibrations and increase efficiency?

So we would need some kind of setup (I'm liking the crankcase method) to help us see/measure the amount of balance in the crankshaft, especially since one of it's main functions is to act as a counterweight/counter balance for the conrod & piston.

If I said anything wrong will someone please correct me.
