Value of Engine Balancing

[Nick Turley]

Charles,

I dynamically balance all my cranks and flywheels together.

I try to get the rods and pistons as close to each other in weight as possible, using a digital scale.

This makes a tremendous difference in smooth running, highly recommended.

I am in the Ruairidh camp and have all dynamically balaced.
It is worth noting that all the new cranks that I have fitted have been way out of balance and come back from balancing with metal removed from more or less the same areas.
Make of that what you will.
