Question?
On my LNC2-360 (BIB plus high comp pistons) there is an add-on= "balancer" bolted to the face of the starter ring gear.
It is supposed = to balance the engine with its internal weights that are supposed to arrang= e themselves to cancel or dampen our any sensed vibrations.
The "balance= r" is about 2 inches in debth and almost the diameter of the ring gear; it = is all self contained and you would have to take the prop off to get it off= and take it apart if one was at least currious what was inside of it.
&= nbsp;
It's difficult to know if a 4 cyclynder Lycoming is as smooth as i= t can be, because it's not a real smooth engine under the best of condition= s.
 
I inquired to a local experienced prop balance person in Re= dmond and they concluded that because of the dynamic balancer on the ring g= ear, he would not attempt to balance the engine with his expensive balance = work, as he thought the attached dynamic balancer would change the internal weight at will.
 
Does anyone have any experience with= these dynamic balancers attached to the ring gear???
