    So--------------while you guys been talking on the web about it---I've balanced 3 engines plus going out of town for 3 days--------

    but-----------keep in mind that the oil going arond with the crank is ain a fluid condition,and will not affect the balance of the mass of solid materials

    Maybe this is that 0W-20 oil with no mass, Pat?? Kind of like Coke Zero, no calories, no caffine, nothing there but wet and a taste!! F'n MAGIC!!!

    Jus' kiddin', Jerry, Jus' kiddin'!!
