Thread: balancing pistons/rods

Tweet

a big belt sander works the best i try to sand on the weight pads on the rods i hang each end for weight with a connecting rod balancer the big end come in most of the time good i get them with in less then a gram .on the pin end there is some times not much steel there . no steel to take off. i like some meat there so i will match up the light pin ends with heavy piston and light pistons with heavy rods pin ends i then add the weight and tune in the heavy ones just abit on the piston or if press pin throw the pin up on the lathe and trim the pin down two grams is not hard to get when it time for the pistons to get hang on the rod you re set the stop so the pin is on center the short pin this works for me
