"The number of bearings and crank pins can also have an effect on engine balance; a more stable crankshaft will better avoid unbalance from flexing, but increasing the crankshaft length or girth to accommodate an additional bearing increases the rotational inertia of the crankshaft, which can have the opposite effect."
If the crank loses stability it's over for the engine. Maybe there is a better way to word this. Crank length doesn't effect rotational mass, it's the weight. Torsional flex yes, but all the 4 and 6 bolt engines never needed to accomodate a larger crank. Even when 2 bolts were an option cranks stay the same.

Six-bolt main bearings - can we have a diagram of the bolt layout, please, it's easier to interpret than text — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanthehat ( talk • contribs) 10:54, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
