Part #187
Revised 7/17/06
Balancing Tips: If you are simply balancing a set of rods, first go through the set and find the lightest
big end and little end. Next balance all the big ends to the lightest one, and then repeat the procedure
by balancing all of the little ends to the lightest. Unless only small amounts of material were removed,
go back and check the balance of the big ends again. If any were out far enough to justify correcting,
recheck the balance on the little ends.
Race Lighten & Balance: This balancer is ideal for helping you make the most of a rod lightening exercise.
The balance pads on production rods are material deliberately added to give production balancers
somewhere to remove material so all production rods will weigh the same (supposedly). This means
that the balance pad material is, for a high performance engine, excess material along for a free ride. To
get your rods down to a minimum weight you must first find the rod out of the set which has the least
amount of material in the balance pads. Rework the little and big ends of this rod until they are the
form you want. It should now be the lightest, so now the rest of the rods can be balanced to this one.
