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.
Balancer Note: Inspection • A further alignment check can be made if Inspect all gears for chipped or missing teeth and required. When number one cylinder in for overheating (blue discolouration). the engine is on top-dead-centre (TOe), Inspect all bearings for signs of overheating (blue slots on the end of the balancer will align discolouration), seizure and any other damage.
