not at all. I sent the crank, piston and rod to a friend. He balanced it and sent it back. I put it back in the engine and ran it at superior this past weekend. It was extreemly fast, it pulled harder than a MAX and never reached above 220. I was in my trailer and a few guys came by to ask what I was running because they were running modded engines and the other guy was running the MAX and they couldn't believe how fast it was. I took it out of my car to clean it and showed them what I had done. I sat it on the work bench and said that if anybody wanted the engine, they could have it for $100.00 because I only did it for an experiment. Needless to say, I don't have it anymore.
My budy the machinist said that it wasn't that far out of ballance, he lightened the rod and trimmed the piston on one side then made a couple "divits" on the crank lobe. If I can get ahold of the guy that has the engine now, I will have him take some pics and email them to me.

one more thing, before I had the ballancing done, when I tried to run the car, it did have an issue with the rear of the car wanting to come around on me as soon as I got on throttle, but afterwards, I didn't. The only thing that I had done differently was change the shock oil in the rear shocks. If it was out of balance, would that cause the car to be loose?

i couldnt imagine a off balance crank making car want to spin around coming onto throttle... more likely too stiff rear suspension or even more likely a tweak issue, which was rectified or made better when you rebuilt the shocks.

actualy, I should have reposted what I discovered. I did a last minute suspension adjustment at Ft Myers the weekend before and forgot about it. I had used antisquat, negative caster, leaning the rear lower arms forward to get rid of some traction and didn't take it back out. Forgot all about it till I took the car apart to clean it.

WHAT DO YOU USE TO BALANCE THE CRANK AND WHAT PORTS DO YOU CUT ON THE SLEEVE AND WHAT SIDE DO YOU CUT ON THE SLEEVE

balance crank
How do you balance the crank after modification your self. Or do you have to alway have to go to a machinist to balance.

Dont mean to sound like a sceptic, but why is there a thousand threads on here claiming "I did this" but never any pics. The camara broke, the whatever was stolen, I sold it.
For gods sake people, take the pics before you post. Its such a letdown thinking you are going to get to see some new design or mod & it never materialises. Oh well better get back to making my new Supercharged, Turboed, NO2 powered Mini T. Will post pics when I am done
