If the V6 is a 60 degree or 30 degree engine then there are no odd harmonics. Only when the V6 is a 90 degree engine is there a balance problem fixed by offset crank journals and/or balance shafts.

Also, the Old Volvo B30 pushrod engine used in the 164 is very stout but suffers from poor coolant circulation in the back 2 cyls. due to sediment buildup.

The old Chevy Blue Flame 6cyl was an engine concieved before the discovery of fire.
