Well I'm sure they can be balanced but being offset would require about 8oz of weight added to the o; /html/spridgets/2001-01/msg00659.html (7,991 bytes)

Re: Piston Balancing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 21:16:54 -0600; For all of the comments it leads me to believe that I should be careful as to which side of the rod I remove material from, so as to not throw the crank out of balance.

I thought Brad wanted his pistons "balanced" What he said, and what I thought are 2 differnet things. I thought he wanted them "centered".
