Great story....and the Original Poster never came back with the numbers as far as I could see.....
RE: Balancing Conrods - Jamie - 28-11-2020
Sorry for the delay in updating this thread.
I have three rods weighing 185 grammes and one weighing 207.
I have three end caps weighing 69 grammes and one weighing 75.
The heavy rod and and end cap go together.
Regards,
Jamie

I have got eight of them with huge difference in section and weight.
I might even have a complete set of big end bolts out of all of them.
When I took an engine apart recently there were brass shims under the big end caps on some of the rods.
The crankshaft is intact as well !!! I have not had it crack tested though.
Jamie,
The Garden shed has given up two big end caps.
One at 75 grams ( it has been lightened )
One at 80 grams.
Sent me a message if an end cap will help.
Weigh your end caps and see if they are less than 80 grams with no shells.
Cheers Dickie
I have sent you a private message, Dickie
Regards,
Jamie.

Jamie
Since my private message I have weighed my bare rod and it is 183 gm, and I have taken some pictures which I will send if you give me an address to send them to.

Thank you for your messages, Robert and Dickie. I have relied to both of you.
Regards,
Jamie.
