    Balancer Introduction In an engine with an even number of cylinders (i.e. 2, 4, 6 etc.), a piston on an upward stroke is always counter-balanced by one on a descending stroke. However, in an engine with an odd number of cylinders, such as that fitted to the Rocket Ill, this natural state of balance does not occur.
