I do have some questions though:

How/where do I dynamically balance my HB? At a machine shop? Does this require the engine to be removed/torn down? Is it right to assume that this is moderately expensive?

I have been wrenching for myself and for various companies in the heavy equipment world for several years, and I understand the ramifications of not doing all procedures properly, in regards to resulting failure. So in this case, I ummm...well I...ahhh...hmm hmmm....

And so...well..uhhh, with that said we can all just move along here nothing to see, and lets all go out there and remember to ALWAYS do the proper procedures when repairing our beloved Mercedes Benz's, and avoid any embarassment.
