He DOES have it backwards. The SV8's have some of their bob weight
external, which is, CONTRARY to magazine writer and hot-rodder wisdom, a
GOOD thing.

The IHC fours based on the SV's have no need for bob-weights, and therefore
have no external balance weights. NO I-4 or I-6 engine NEEDS any bob
weights.
