    How important is it that the balancer shaft is in time with the fly
    wheel? If it is not at the same timing marks what would the side
    effects be?

    it's very important. you /can/ run without it, but the motor may shake
    itself to bits.

    for principles of operation, go to the library and look in the bosch
    automotive handbook.

    -------------------------------

    If you dont' bother to change the balancer's belt when you're doing the
    timing belt, it could self-destruct and take out the TB. The shaking
    part (if simply out-of-time) probably won't hurt anything, but would
    certainly clobber your RESALE VALUE.

    Haw, Haw, Haw :)
