Crank replacement Whats up you guys I had a question in regards to replacing a stock crank. I was wondering if it needed to be balanced if I replaced just the crank. It is going to be a stock replacement for my 2000 z28.

I would definitely recommend balancing! One set of rods to the next, with the same part number, can be as much as 15-20 grams difference in weight. Then you have different weights of pistons, rings, etc to factor in. ALWAYS BALANCE.
