Good explanation. When GM came out with their 90 deg V6 in the 70's, they had to use a very strange distributor lobe to get it to run. Later, they adopted offset crank journals to achieve a much smoother running engine. I supose those hydraulic engine mounts helped as well.

5 cyl's are unbalanced but can be made acceptable by adding enough damping.
