Engine balancing?

[zookieboi]

Hey just wondering if anyone knows of a shop on the east coast that does engine balancing and is it really expensive? i just love the idea of a free revving 4age.

I heard they are balanced fairly well from factory. So if all standard parts, just use a matched set of pistons and leave it. It will be good compared to a 1985 Holden anyhow.

If you have knife edged crank, lightened flywheel, linished rods etc... then yes you will need a balance.

I'd get it balanced, fairly inexpensive really.

PLR (Brendale) charged me ~$150 to balance everything; crank, rods, pistons, flywheel/clutch, cambelt thingy, and harmonic balancer.

Balancing is cheap and worthwhile.
Look up Brisbane Engine Balancing.
