Main casting removed allowing a better view of the balancer shafts.


As I'm not all that bothered about vibration, the balancer shafts and associated items will be removed and replaced with a baffle plate from an earlier XEV engine that didn't have them. I will need to drill and tap the oil feeds and then plug them with grub screws and locktite.

With a bit of luck the engine should rev a bit more freely without them, especially with the lightened flywheel I have. May see a bit of a power gain too as frictional losses will be reduced.

Thats it for now!
