honda balance shaft Q&A Review
What is the best engine in a motorcycle?
I’ve thought about this a lot and in terms of power delivery, ‘feel’, weight, fit in the frame, and aesthetic look, its a 360 degree parallel twin with a balance shaft. The below motor is a 675cc, It is extremely compact yet will pull smoothly from 1200 rpm (two up, up an incline, in top gear), rev to 7500 rpm, makes 52 bhp at the rear wheel, is glass smooth above 4000 rpm, and can be persuaded to do 120 mpg. To put that into perspective, I’ve owned three small 360 degree twins, at least two 180 degree twins inc a CB500 Honda, three across the frame V twins, one 360 degree twin without a balancer shaft, and one with (the one pictured). I’ve also long term owned and/or dispatched two flat twins, four ‘V’ twins (Guzzi, not Harley) and numerous singles. …And this is the donk under me at the moment… I’m on my third one of these…It’s a lovely motor, exciting and characterful, but not like the twin… It won’t run glass smooth at very low revs, it isn’t smooth at high revs, and it’s tall.
Why are Honda and Ducati Motogp bikes faster in straight line than Yamaha?
I would like to speculate that the difference in the top speed attributes to the engine layout. Yamaha uses an Inline-4 layout, where as Ducati and Honda uses a 90 degree V layout. 90 degree V-Layout balances primary and secondary forces without resorting to the usage of balancer shafts as Yamaha does in it's Inline layout. It is roughly estimated that 1-2 % of power is robbed by balancers. Also the inline four is the widest of the possible motor configurations, and this increases the bike’s frontal area – creating drag which reduces top speed and slows acceleration at high speeds.
When it comes to Toyota Camry cars, which is better, a 4-cylinder or a 6-cylinder engine?
The 4 cylinders without question. The perfect engine is one with 6 cylinders inline with each other, an inline 6 cylinder or V12. If believe in karma, 6 cylinders inline with each other have perfect balance. There’s no jerking because for every cylinder moving up, there’s a cylinder moving down, perfectly off setting; yin and yang. Most of your legendary long lasting engines are straight 6 cylinder layouts. 4 cylinders inline, 4 cylinders and V8s, are the next best thing, like 6 cylinders there’s no jerking around because cylinders balance each other out, however a row of 4 cylinders does create vibration that has to be managed by other mechanical means. A 3 cylinder layout, V6s have the same vibration, but add to that a harsh jerk because there’s no offsetting cylinder and has to be made up for with a balancing shaft. No matter how good the engineers are, that balancing shaft won’t be perfect and will wear the engine. Typical Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys with V6s will last 200,000 miles, but the 4 cylinders will last 300–400,000 miles because it’s more in balance. In short, V6s are the work of the devil.
What is the difference between a 3 cylinder and a 4 cylinder? Which one has more life and power?
As a rule of thumb: The fewer the cylinder for a given displacement, the higher low end torque but lower high end peak power. (must know the definition of torque vs horse power). As you increase the number of cylinders, low end torque decreases but peak horsepower increases. That is why you can hear Ferraris with V10 engines violently roar even just for a normal roll start from stand still. While your average Honda civic just can start rolling even at an idle. But once the engine reach peak rpm, the more cylinders produces a lot of power. Inline 3 cylinders (with evenly timed firing order) produce a relatively high low end torque than inline 4 of the same displacement but inline 4 produces more power at high rpm. Because inline 3 have fewer cylinder it means it was lighter and less complex. Inline 4 offer longevity because it is inherently smoother running. Therefore a longer lifespan. Inline 3s have balance shafts that ONLY counter balances the vibration forces acting on the crankshaft. The vibration is Cancelled BUT the engine stress is still there even doubled as the balance shaft has its own asymmetrical centrifugal force. Advancements in engine design and metallurgy however made this not an issue anymore. ( some high revving inline 4s have balance shafts also to deal with secondary imbalance produced when the crankshaft spins at high rpm). To answer your question and inline 4 has more power plus longer life than a comparable inline 3. That explains they are more common.
What is the largest flat-plane V8 possible?
A flat plane crank is the cheapest way to make a forged or billet V8 crank. Q1: There is a lot of excitement around the Ford 5.2L flat-plane V8 and being the largest capacity flat-plane V8 ever but why hasn't this been done before? No one was willing to accept the secondary out of balance forces or spend the money on balance shafts. Out of balance force is Root(2) times the force that a single bank of the engine would produce as an Inline 4 (I4), which vibrates like one of it’s cylinders running at 2x engine speed. This makes the vibration comparable to a 3.67L I4 or a 0.9L thumping big single. Unlike I4 the out of balance force isn’t in line with the cylinder axis but side to side, the vertical components cancel out. To remove the vibration on large or premium I4’s Mitsubushi and Porsche fit 2 counter rotating balance shafts running at 2x engine speed. Ford have decided V8 buyers will accept the vibration for the power output with V8ness and have not fitted balance shafts. The largest I4’s not fitted with balance shafts are about 2.4L “truck” engines such as the Nissan KA24DE fitted to Pathfinder and 240SX, anything bigger than that is only fit for agricultural use (AKA a Tractor). A flat plane 3.4L V8 would have the same amount of vibration as a 2.4L I4 or a 600cc single (at 2x speed). Q2: Could Ford take their 6.2L “BOSS” V8, stroke it to 7L, install a flat-plane crank and have a 7L V8 that revs to 8000rpm? As they have quite similar stokes 93mm and 95mm it’s possible. It would vibrate like a 4.95L I4 or 1.23L single! But it’s not the flat plane crank that allows the high rpm. It’s the DOHC 4 valve/cylinder breathing and variable valve timing. The 1999 Honda VTEC F20C has the same 25m/s mean piston speed but produces 125 bhp/L (Honda could have done it 18 years ago with a 4L V8). It has to be a forged or billet crank to run at high speed and most Ford V8 cranks are cast - the cheapest way to make a cross plane crank. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flat-plane-silliness-how-crankshaft-press-release-duped-stephen-kim
Are 5-cylinder car engines something to avoid or were some good ones made?
Are 5-cylinder car engines something to avoid or were some good ones made? Volvo has a 4 and 5 cylinder / but it’s really a 6 cylinder that they commissioned Porsche designed for them. Volvo had commissioned Porsche to build for Volvo a “Alloy Modular 6 cylinder inline straight 6. But being Modular means that each cylinder could stand alone by itself if you cut it 5 ways. Or if you wanted a 5 cylinder just cut one cylinder off. Or if you wanted a 4 cylinder just cut two cylinders off. So Volvo’s 4–5–6 cylinders are all related to their 6 cylinder designed as a alloy modular motor my Porsche. Before that all of Volvo’s engines were cast iron blocks and their diesel was a licensed Renault diesel which was junk. On Volvo’s 4 cylinders they were mated to a Mitsubishi transaxel front wheel drive. A first for them. Later they went all front wheel drive. But the early 5 and 6 cylinders were rear wheel drive. Porsche designed it so good that they wanted to sell or license it others and they asked Volvo if they could? And Volvo replied “Nay, Nay, Nay” which is no in Swedish. Volvo Modular engine - Wikipedia Volvo SI6 engine - Wikipedia https://motor-car.net/volvo-engines/item/13867-volvo-modular-engine Volvo S80/XC90, 6-cylinder petrol twin-turbo engine, 2,9T These early ones were rear wheel drive. Then Volvo went with all FWD. ==================================================== Audi has an excellent 5 cylinder that has worked well for them over 40 years. Spy photos show Audi's new 5-cylinder RS3 hatchback and sedan 40 years of Audi five-cylinder engines The 5 cylinder is actually a very very good design. See the 4 cylinder is inherently “unbalanced” or “not balanced at the No. 3 cylinder”. That’s why any displace larger than 2.3L they have to use a balance shaft (Honda/Toyota/Mitsubishi 2.4L and larger engines all use balance shafts to throw off the No. 3 cylinder vibration) Porsche didn’t have time to develop their own so Porsche licensed Mitsubishi’s balance shaft on Porsche 2.5L and 3.0L 4 cylinder straight upright engines (non-boxer engines)) That said, the 5 cylinder is excellent to counter the No. 3 vibrations. Audi 5-cylinder Straight-five engine - Wikipedia Apparently Audi is bringing back their 5 cylinder. Spy photos show Audi's new 5-cylinder RS3 hatchback and sedan This is also the same reason V8’s have the same No. 7 cylinder counter-weighted to throw off what would be the No. 3 cylinder vibration. Because what is a V8 but two sandwiched 4 cylinders in a V configuration. ==================================================== Some reader reminded me that Acura also had a 5 cylinder. So they get honorable mention. I didn’t hear anything bad about that either. But Honda/Acura stopped making it. ==================================================== Now Mercedes-Benz has a 5 cylinder 2.5L diesel and turbo diesel that they put into various 1986 to 1993 300D W124 and 190D W201 sedans. These were excellent and bullet proof that are still in use in Europe as taxis and in the Middle East. Even before that Mercedes a series of older 5 cylinder diesels that were also bullet proof. W123 The most balance engine of all is a straight 6. Just about any straight 6 and V12. Because what is a V12 but a sandwiched The Merlin V12 in the P51D Mustang was legendary for power and smoothness.

Why are V-shaped engines used?
The primary reason to use a V-engine is largely packaging. They're shorter and more compact than an inline engine. However, you're getting to the really fun stuff and that's the bank angle and phasing. The first thing to consider is an engine as a purely rotational system. Imagine a one cylinder engine; the rotating crankshaft is massively out of balance. Even if the actual crankshaft was perfectly balanced, the motion of the piston and the forces it applies will never cancel out. This is why most one cylinder engines run a balance shaft; a weighted shaft geared into the crankshaft to mitigate the out-of-balance effects. A balance shaft can be run on other out of balance engines as well. A V-engine, on the other hand, ,can ,be made to be inherently balanced. This means that no matter what speed the engine's running at, the forces from the rotating assembly will always cancel out. Most notably, a 90 degree V4 or V8 engine can be easily balanced and many race motorcycle engines use this configuration (Honda and Ducati in MotoGP). V6s and V12s run balanced at 60 degree bank angle. Note that I say 'can' be better balanced. This is because you also have to look at your firing orders and phasing. Back to MotoGP (I'm a fan), we can look at the Honda NSR500 2 stroke race bike of the '80s and '90s. They ran that engine as an even-fire engine (over 360deg of rotation for a 2 stroke or 720deg of rotation for a 4 stroke), the cylinders fire at even intervals. So if it's a 4 cylinder, they fire every 90 or 180 degrees. # of cylinders/cycle length=cylinder phasing. This is the most ideal way of running an engine and will provide the inherent balance I referenced in the above paragraph. However they also ran that engine as a big bang engine. By building new crankshaft and camshafts, they made it so that all pistons fired within 72 degrees of each other. This was done for non-engine reasons, tire dynamics actually, but it's a good example of how you can change phasing. An interesting note: because a V12 is essentially two inline 6 engines stuck together they're naturally balanced regardless of bank angle. This is why V12 Jaguars have a reputation for smoothness. V6s, being two 3 cylinders stuck together, are inherently out of balance.
What is the advantage of Triumph's three-cylinder motorcycle engine?
All engines with reciprocating pistons are inherently out of balance, and careful design of the firing order/timing can mitigate the imbalance only partially. AFAIK, the only inherently balanced engine configuration is a flat six, like the one in Honda Goldwing. Triumph accomplished an amazing feat with their triples (they are really smooth running), but they had to deploy a ,balance shaft,.
Why do cars with a bigger engine ride much smoother than small engine cars? A 3.5L V6 compared to 1.8L L4. Is it because of the weight or better suspension?
The ride has nothing to do with the engine. 4 cylinders usually has vibrations at higher rpms especially when the cylinder displacement exceed 1.8 liters. They tried to lighten the moving parts - piston/rods etc., but still couldn't solve the problem. In the 70s when 4 cylinder Mitsubishi came out with a balance shaft that off set that vibration, Porsche immediately used it in their 4 cylinder engines followed by Chrysler. Even V6 used them as GM wanted a more refined V6s on their Buicks. I have compared late model Honda I4 and V6 Accords and found similar models have the same noise level at cruise and at idle. Only at acceleration where the 4 cylinder was louder by less than 1.5 dbs. measured with a calibrated microphone. Ride it self is determined by the suspension, wheel base and the weight of the vehicle. The heavier front end of the V6 made the handling less precise but the ride was better due to the inertia provided by the weight, but when loaded with 5 passengers they were close according my passengers. The model of Honda I tested were their top of the line 2015 Accords. I owned the 4 cylinder version and the V6 version belonged to a friend of mine.
