Message : long enough to have seen them all anyway. however i havent seen this question brought up. if you dont think it causes any problems than fine, than say i dont think either cause a problem, however some do believe it is the cause of problems, so i guess ill have to specify my questions a little more and direct them toward a non bias group. thanx though

detonation is evil.
piston goes up. detonation (pre-ignition) happens. piston still wants to go up. but preignition wants the piston to go down. where do these opposing forces go? into the bearings. they feel the "fight" directly, no matter which force wins.

radial vibrocity due to an offset weight on the crank is minamal. folks forget that the reciprocating action of the pistons act as a dampaner as well.
the bearings of a Z are designed to handle extreme forces (see above paragraph for an example). the very minor, in comparison, forces that the crank delivers due to a minor offset weight is so minamal, it should not be considered.

I orginally felt that I would play it safe, and not personally use a UDP, but after MUCH scientific research, I determined that the overall life of the engine is not negated due to a mildly unbalanced pulley. (ps, I think one of their sales pitches is that the pulleys are balanced).
