and Im looking for a good deal, so far the forged piston and stock rods that ls1 motorsports sells looks good to me. I called diamond and they said that they dont sell any piston and rod set, just the pistons. What do you guys think? I plan on having the block honed, new crank bearings, the rod and pistons set comes with arp bolts and bearings. Do I need to have the rotation assembly balenced? what else am I going to run into? thanks

ARE said the rod/piston/arp bolts combo doesnt need balancing. I didnt balance mine and it seems fine

I would also say to get it balanced. It will save you from having any balancing issues.

Good Luck,

balance it, replace the cam bearings on top of everything else. USE GOOD RINGS!
