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.
