Abstract
An even firing 90.degree. V6 four stroke cycle engine is provided with a single line balancer having a combination of primary balance weights and secondary Oldham coupling balancers rotating opposite crankshaft rotation which, combined with crankshaft counterweights, provide complete offsetting of the engine primary rotating unbalance couple together with offsetting of a large portion of the engine secondary rotating unbalance couple and leaving a small residual secondary unbalance couple for absorption by the engine mounting system.
