2.2 daewoo engine swap

[latintrumpetman]

OK I went to a local junk yard and they said I could use a 2.2 Leganza engine in my 2001 Isuzu rodeo. I did some research and yes its the same engine. So I bought a 2001 Leganza engine and started the swap. When I was changing the oil pan I notice that the Leganza 2.2 engine didn't have an engine counter balance but the isuzu 2.2 did. The engine looked identical on the outside. Has anybody tried this swap before? Will I have any problem since my new engine doesnt have an engine counter balance? Let m eknow what you think. Thanks!!!

If I remember correctly the huge crank pulley acts as the counter balance. Someone else please chime in to confirm.

The Isuzu engine has an extra crank pinion inside that makes an external mechanism move, that extenal mechanism is the counter balance. The daewoo didnt have it. As I said the engines look the same, have the same number, and everything seems to interchance, I just dont understand why the daewoo wouldnt have it too.
