ABSTRACT:
A compact balancer shaft arrangement for a four-cycle, internal combustion engine includes a pair of opposing balancer shafts driven by an engine crankshaft. Each balancer shaft has a shorter length than the crankshaft with its center of mass longitudinally offset from the midpoint of the crankshaft. The balancer shafts are driven from a lower end of the crankshaft and extend upwardly in a direction parallel to the crankshaft. The short length of the balancer shafts presents a compact assembly and provides space for other engine accessories.
