Rod Balancing, End-to-end. I also wondered how in the hell do you balance END-TO-END.
I found this 20 minute video (balance at 6 minutes) where he hangs one end on a nail and puts the other end on the scale.... weighs each rod and compares, removes material, repeats.... is that the way to do it? Good way, Bad Way??? This link and the embedded vid starts at 6 minutes. https://youtu.be/U3IXSywgTnM?t=386 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3IXSywgTnM?t=389 |

Balancing rods end for end is an exercise of a dog chasing it's tail, you take a little off of here and you fuch up everything over there. One of the reasons even in race balance it's +/- 1 gram.
The shop I use for balancing doesn't give me a break if I do the rods or pistons myself, they still want them. Balancing is all my shop does and they don't trust you to do their job. Sure on stock jobs I balance the pistons by swapping pins,etc., but the stock spec is +/- 6 grams, within factory spec you'll never feel that unbalance on a stock mill. |
