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.

Hey Greg,

Please help me understand if you have time. I'm not sure what your reffering 
to as bob weights. The harmonic Balancers on my IHC 152/196 have bob wieghts 
180 degrees apart from each other, where as my 304, and all the other IHC V8 
engines I've had did not have these counter weights.

What am I missing?

What does SV mean?

Thanks
Sincerely,
Jeff Gruwell
