All engine manufacturers balance rotating assembly's.

How is 6 greater than 8? All B series Cummins owners think their engine's are supreme. In my opinion if Cummins made a V8 version of the B series....It would be "all the rave"!
You can't get as many main bearings in a V8.

As far as 4 cylinders, we had a little old D4 Cat that was smooth as glass. So is our TD14.
