John,

  Hmmm.  Is balancing considered an "extra" on an IH?   What with the hi
 performance small engines in Toyota's, etc balancing must be a necessity.

  Exactly how do they balance an engine like an IH?  Maybe, dynamic balance
on the rotating components like crank?  And just equalize the weight on the
reciprocating components like pistons/rods?  Wonder if completely assembled
and running engines are ever dynamically balanced?
