    Default H22a4 balance shaft

    ok i heard from some people it is worth it, and some say that it is not, i just wanna give it a try.

    people have either tried buying a balance shaft removal kit, and some have just taken the balance shaft belt off.

    I want to know if just taking the belt off would have any bad results for the motor.

    Thanks.

    No it will not harm anything but will vibrate some...I always take the POS H22 tensioner an throw it in that damn lake lol...And use the H23 Tensioner an throw the balance belt in the trash.....the kits are great just alittle extra money...anything you save off rotating mass on the crank shaft /motor will always give it extra juice...think it like this....If you are racing your car would you like it if 3 of your buddy's that weight about 400lbs each ride with you? lol

    The balance shaft removed will not save 400lbs but anything helps

    you'll be fine.... it'll have a little extra vibration like joshua said but I don't think it will even be noticable to you anyways...
