It doesn't help this is probably the most opinionated modification.

I think posts like the below leave potential for someone to believe you are speaking fact, rather than your opinion.

Torsional effects are mitigated by balancing the entire rotating assembly and adding counterweights to the crank. No external balancing was necessary.
Engineers that work on designing and manufacturing factory engines have advanced engineering to the point where in most cases, external balancing and/or harmonic dampeners aren't necessary.
I don't take your quotes out of context, please award me the same.

The way the bolded reads, there isn't room for another thought. The statement that it is not a harmonic damper is actually wrong--we just don't know whether it is an important harmonic damper
All I'm seeking to do is clarify the reality for anyone that is confused and considering the mod.
