what harm can come from running around beltless other than high rpm vibes?

 

Can I turbo my NA?

 

Will an LS2 fit in my 944?

Vibrations are the worst without shafts at about 1300-1500rpm.. IMHO

Anyways, I have ran for years and years without a problem. *knock on wood* but at this point I would think any failure would be the result of something other then engine vibration.

 

high vibes can cause parts to break that normally due not. Parts like fuel rails which can cause fires or oil pick-up tubes which cause the engine to blow up.

Some guys do it, but I advise not to for a prolonged period.

 

thanks, thats what i was looking for. somebody on here once told me that there just for comfort and lots of race people take them off for less rotating weight. ill only be removing mine for a short time to diagnose a bad pully

 

idle is your worst enemy without balance shafts,

but,

if you have your rotating assebembly balanced proffesionally, atleas on a HINES balancer, it is ok, not advised for a street car sitting in traffic though.

 

Higher than normal vibratory stress levels are generally not good but without knowing how much higher it's impossible to say. Fatigue life of a component is often highly dependent on vibratory stress levels.

 

I recently took apart a motor that didn't have a balance shaft belt. The oil pick-up and screen connection was broken off both sides and attached to the drain plug magnet. No doubt the tube would eventually break too.

 

The biggest impact of the balance shafts is to keep the pistons from vibrating in the cylinders, aside from the other impacts noted above. Unless you are running a blueprinted/professionally built motor that is designed to run without balance shafts, running a motor without them for too long will cause major damage
