counterbalancer

what would happen if you removed the counterbalancer from a two rotor engine. The 180 degrees between the rotors should eliminate the vertical but I assume it would twist alot or something.

The engine would probably vibrate a lot and rattle every tooth you have loose. why would you want to remove it?

if you remove it and get a light flywheel it should rev quicker right? On grannys website he talks about how his 4 rotor was perfectly balanced so he didnt need a cb, and because of this it reved faster than a 2 rotor.

New flywheels usually come with the proper counter balance for your car. reving faster has nothing to do with the engines internal balance.
