Thanks Kevin. That's the difference, i.e. you have lighter aftermarket rods and I'm using stock lightened/balanced rods (only -9g from stock). Yours are probably around 750g and mine are just under 900 g. I talked with Butler and they said Ohio's cranks are set up for aftermarket rods and pistons. So, if you use any stock components, the crank is going to be too light and need heavy metal added in order to balance. Wish I would have known this. In hind sight, I would have just bought the aftermarket rods considering the amount of time I had to put into my stock ones, the extra money I'm going to spend on balancing, etc. Lessons learned along the way!

It was awfully close to weight, They were all within something like 10 grams total weight.> > _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
