Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a definition of 'blueprinting' an engine.  In my
understanding, it involves several things:
1) Ensure all pistons are the same weight
2) Ensure all rods are the same weights at both big and little ends
3) Spin the crank/flywheel/pulley and remove material until all
vibrations are removed up to say 6k rpm

Is this an accurate description?  If I went to a machine shop and just
asked to have the engine 'balanced' what would I get, just #3 above?

Rob in Ottawa (Still with a pile of parts that will some day become an
engine again)
