I have the last of my parts for my 2056 build up on the way. Im looking for a good shop to do the Dynamic Engine Balancing. I know I will have to ship, so I guess the location is not critical to North Carolina or East Coast. But I am looking for someone who does Type 4/VW work and is familiar with the ins and outs specific to these engines.
Can anyone one here provide a recommendation please. Best regards _Robert |

In 1983, before I knew anything, I did a full case split engine rebuild. I static balanced pistons and rods within 1/10 of gram, as that’s all I could do or afford. That engine ran for a very long time. From my limited experience, dynamic balancing is the gold standard, but static balancing is not a bad thing to do

My thoughts too, but now that I am changing to bigger pistons and Lighter rods,(may be a wash and I can measure that) it may be close to the counter weights of the original 2.0 but not likely. On a re ring and bearing swap..Good to go for sure.
I think for fun I will measure the estimated bob weight of each 2.0 and 2056 and see how much its changed This is what QA engineers do for fun!
