20b counter weight problem
i have a 93 rew motor and used a 20B automatic counter weight with a os giken twin disc clutch and now i have a major vibration in the motor do you thinks its the counter weight or is it in the motor itself. does any one know if the 13b weight is the same as the 20B one

My understanding of counterweights is that they're similar to balance shafts in a piston engine. That is, if they're not there or balanced incorrectly, the main effect is that the engine vibrates a lot.
But I would think that would leave the potential for some damage in a rotary.

YEs, switch it before it is too late.. Using that 20B CW on your 13b engine will destroy yor internals.. The your rotating assembly is completely out of balance... The 20B CW is only for 20B.. Also, the 20B CW is NLA so it is somewhat of a rare item... Guru is now selling their own CNC 20B CW since Mazda discontinued production...and its not cheap! I have the correct part you need and will sell it to you for $75.00 delivered if you want to buy from me..
Anyway do something before its too late..if its not too late already....

Just because the 13b rotors are the same weight as the 20b rotors, doesn't mean you can use the 20b counter weight to properly balance the rotating assembly. The e-shaft phasing is totally different. 13b is 180 degrees while 20b is 120. That's your major difference and why you have this vibration. As others have already told you, locate the proper front and rear counter weight for your engines rotors. Peace!
