Quote:
Balance and smoothness
The V6 does not have the inherent freedom from vibration that the inline-six and flat-six have, but it can be modeled as two separate straight-3 engines sharing a crankshaft. Counterweights on the crankshaft and a counter rotating balance shaft are required to compensate for the first order rocking motions.
