Symptom Chart - Engine-Speed Related Vibrations

NOTE: When an engine-speed related vibration is present, engine, engine accessory and engine firing calculations should be carried out.
NOTE: Any assembly that is out of balance will only cause a first order vibration, it will not cause a higher order vibration.
NOTE: Some engine-speed related vibrations are normal though they should not be felt in the passenger compartment.
