Forest Road 594 #26 Posted November 12, 2014 Question of the day. To balance or not? $150 - $200. Machinist has good reason for doing it. I plan on tossing the balance gears. Anyone? Anyone? Bueler..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest Road 594 #28 Posted November 15, 2014 Awesome read!! Thanks. Ordered a balancing kit from Kirk Engines. I'm already over budget. At this point it's GO BIG or GO home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callen 64 #29 Posted November 15, 2014 What comes in a balancing kit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #30 Posted November 15, 2014 Not much. It's all in the machining. It's basically just a weight. http://kirkengines.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callen 64 #31 Posted November 15, 2014 I read through this. It doesn't mention what rpm range that it will make an improvement in. It won't do you any good if it works in 5-6 thousand RPM range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
