Assembling an Unbalanced Engine

[Bob]

Here is an interesting program which I just ran across! http://www.maverickracing.co.uk/crankbalsoft.htm

You will still need a gram scale and a jig to end weigh connecting rods, but for a street rebuild or mild performance engine, you can use it to find the best mix and match balance for a set of unbalanced components!

Here is a link to show the type of thing you might build to end weight the rods: Click Here..

Cool- that reminds me of my first rebuild of the nailhead in my 65 Riv. I took all the old piston weights and matched the new ones as close as I could- did a little ciphering- that engine has been excellent for the last 25 years.
