Balancing question
« on: March 28, 2013, 11:50:25 am »
So I'm just swapping the 1.5 pistons and rods into my 1.6. I just weighed the pistons rods and pins all seperately. Pistons are 50.2 notched. Pins are exact same all 4. Rods vary .5 grams between lightest and heaviest. Everything is clean and no residue on them. You think they are balanced enough to put in and not worry about?

The rods and pistons are a matched set already from my mint 1.5 I had. I just re weighed the pistons after I notched them out.
