The energy is converted to heat. This can happen through any medium. I really don't understand your point at all. And the crank pulley spins and there is air moving under the car...this is where the heat goes, into the air. Also, some goes into the crank, but I'm sure the crank is warmer than the pulley, so the pulley is still a heatsink.
This has been discussed to death. It is from people using non-OEM parts to eliminate the balance shaft. We are preaching to use an OEM part or better, that is of course dampened. Mitsubishi makes the parts to remove the balance shafts because they figured out it would be cheaper to not have them on the tinier engines used in the CHEAP colts and mirages. Comfort obviously had no place in designing those cars. It is also recommended to use straight-cut gears from the early pumps when eliminating the BS.
Removing your balance shafts can also cause oil pump failures, which causes engine bearing damage... There are a lot more people that have had oil pump failures, with a balance shaft removal, than people whom have had a crank break (there's only one I've heard of) yet you do a BSE and preach against a solid pulley.
