Yes "theory" in a formal sense but not the way you mean it. The math and engineering say it is perfectly balanced and measurements confirm it, thus it is a theory but also fact. I read "in theory" from you sounding like you only believe it is a hypothesis, which is not correct.

Can you expand on the "issue" with s52 and m54 engines?

Again balance is almost for sure not going to be the problem when raising redlines on an I6.
