LS6 crank use press or floating pins?? I purchased a LS6 crank, part # 12583565, and I'm having difficulty finding out if it was balanced for press-fit or floating pins. This is a budget build that is unlikely to see 6000 plus rpms.
I weighed the 2 combos (rod and piston) and the floating setup weighs 70 grams, per piston/rod, more than the press fit.
On GMPP LS6 crate engine spec sheet, it shows the above crank, LS2 floating rods and press fit pistons?????????????????
I guess I may have to cough up the money to have it balanced. I just hate to spend $200 to balance a cast crank. Besides, good machine shops in this area are a crap shoot.
Will the factory balance work on the crank even be close enough if I do find out?
