Balance Shaft: Description and Operation

The 4-135 engine is equipped with two balance shafts installed in a carrier attached to the lower crankcase.

The shafts are interconnected through gears to rotate in opposite directions. These gears are driven by a short chain from the crankshaft, to rotate at two
times crankshaft speed. This counterbalances certain engine reciprocating masses.
