Scott Neville and I have removed our B Shafts this pass summer.

We both noticed a "little more" Engine Vibrations. Hard to tell "over the line". I consider it neglegeable

As for power; I got a NT and I noticed quite a bit more. Some say up to 30. I'd say about 15 to be conservative. Scott also agrees the added Vib is very neglegieable. He back up the "about 15 hp (He got a Turbo).

Oh, I forgot. I also helped Scotty Williams (London) to remove both of his B Shafts. I asked him what he tought about the Engine Vib. His reply was that he did not feel and differences. He did feel the addred power.

That might be because he got Original Motor Mounts and Scott Neville and I have "Filled Mounts"... Dono, all of my fillings are still intacts.

One more pros is the fact that the stupid Front B Shaft Belt is out of the equation. That little bugger has caused more that one T Belt failure. I call it a piece of mind.

Would I do it over??? Big Yé.

I'd probably have the Rotating Mass balanced if I'd be rebuilding the Bottom End. Not that the added Vib bugs me, but just to do it right.
