ok for the crank to be balanced what they do is drill on some of the counter weights for it to be the same they got a special mechine for it to do the weighing. for the rods what they do is weigh all the rods and the weigh the small end of the rods and try and get the weight down to the lightest rod you have and they grind the others down to that so they are all the same. same as pistons there just trying to get them all to be the same weight
