Re: Remove balance shafts ? Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Sat, 18 Mar 2017 11:43:23 In Reply to: Re: Remove balance shafts ?, Cannonball, Fri, 17 Mar 2017 19:24:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The balance shafts are intended to smooth out the idle, cancelling second order harmonic vibrations; they have very little effect at high engine speeds, other than that they are turning 2x the engine speed! See blog article from Eeuroparts (a site sponsor) about delete kits for newer versions of the SAAB engine. I believe that they are working on a version for the B234 engine as used in our 9000s.
