Whats the maximum difference.... Between the lightest and heaviest rod/pin/piston combo?
BTW if anyone is thinging about getting a scale to weigh engine parts, spend the extra $100 to get the digital scale cause the triple beam is such a PITA to readand it takes forever for it to settle

Re: Whats the maximum difference.... Now its decision time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I contacted a couple of high performance engine shops and one said that any time you change the bobweight you need to re-balance the crank and the other said its not nessesary if the change is less than 30 grams. I'm just around 17 grams lighter. Also found out that the max difference shouldn't be greater than 1/2 gram, almost there I'm at 1.1 grams now
I got a really good price for the re-balance so thats making it even harder, they're going to weigh everything for nothing just to double check my weights and charge $150 for the crank but that $150 could go to something else if the job isn't needed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
