Status: offline 		If your referring to the starting mod in that video on the f4.6, that start shaft doesn't spin when the engine is running. It has a spring and pin mechanism in the end of the crank and once that engine starts there is absolutely not driving force against the start shaft. I have a big block revo with one of these engines that I use the one way bearing in the end of a drill to start. Engine running you can grab that shaft , it's not even spinning. Like I said earlier some engine start shafts are keyed to the crank and yes then this would add mass but not with f series mills.
