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 |

Around 35 years ago I did a full rebuild (my first) on my 1.8 with NPR big bore p/c's. I balanced all the rods and pistons to 1/10th of a gram, and to my knowledge that motor hasn't been apart since. I just used a dual balance type scale. I don't know how much it truly helped, but I didn't have any experience, just a little help from a friend with a VW and another friend that was a GM small block guy
