    How does our 2.3 motor dampen vibrations from the crank without one(Harmonic Balancer)?

    4 cylinder engines (and I think some inline sixes as well) don't require a harmonic balancer because they aren't subjected to the same types of vibrations as a V-type engine, since the cylinders are all in the same plane.
