Thread: balance the motor or not?

Tweet

stock engines are far from close ??? what is close??? this is what you should ask when spending money for a balance job. how are the hell you going to check it? as many on line shops sell.. GREAT DEAL Kits.. there mass balanced using not the real parts for weight . but number of what it could be as it.s a averaged out could be off as much as 10 grams or more a end . on stock stuff that ran other then new pistons . many guys balance the rods and pistons match stuff up this is the least i do if the guy will not spend the money for a full balance job. its not always the machine shop. if i have a machine i am paying for taking up space in my shop. i like to get paid to use it . but some guys are cheap . all new parts and big stroke cranks can get very intense$$$$ with cutting down counter weight to plugging heavy metal in the crank . so whats is close for me it is under 1 gram per end of the crank
