..... No
An engine that has primary and secondary harmonic balance CANNOT have a high rpm vibration unless the crank is improperly weighted which has nothing to do with the length
If they produced harmonic vibrations, they would have a balancer more like i4 or v6 or v8.
Inline 6 motors are popupar BECAUSE they have no issues at high rpm.. It's like saying a rotary has high rpm vibration issues because of balance. Totally laughable.
