Harmonic Balancer Question (I know, I know)

[93GreenLX]

How does our 2.3 motor dampen vibrations from the crank without one(Harmonic Balancer)?

Internnaly balanced

I was told, every car has to have a Harmonic Balancer???

4 cylinder engines (and I think some inline sixes as well) don't require a harmonic balancer because they aren't subjected to the same types of vibrations as a V-type engine, since the cylinders are all in the same plane.

Well ya learn something new every day! I had no idea we didn't have harmonic balancers. But now I do.
