Do i have to re-balance my rotating assembly?

Ok i bought some lunati rods and some diamond pistons along with a used 6.0 crank and i had everything balanced. Now i have to switch pistons cause i need to get low compression diamond pistons for a turbo i want to run. So when i get the new pistons do i have to re-balance everything or what? Also on the motor im building i lost the oil pump bolts and i need the bolt that holds the pick-up tube to the oil pumo. where can i buy these bolts?

I would definately have the motor balanced again...especially with forced induction. You could probably score the bolts from the dealership.

yes you do. even though the factory says the exact weight is checked before put into boxes there can always be a mistake
