I was thinking to balance the unbalanbed one would involve some careful drilling/milling/ grinding, but I dunno how much work it is to do... Mebbie the balanced one is a "close" plug and play sort of a part, and the unbalanced one is for true customazation...

I dunno if there's really that big of a difference in that scenario. I do
know chrysler engines are all internally balanced though, so I'm not sure
how much of a difference that makes. Anyone care to elaborate?

He was asking the difference between two parts, the only differences that I could see from the info given is the one that wasn't balanced was $400 cheaper. Since I have never took apart any engine more complicated than a flathead Willys, I don't know if paying for the unbalanced one and balancing it yourself [or having the shop do it for you] is worth the $400.... > > >>> jbattles@bankfinancial.com 06/13/03 09:03AM >>> > > ""BARRY OLIVER"" <DHSPA58@dhs.state.il.us> wrote in message > news:see98c30.096@mail.dhs.state.il.us... > > > > wow, $400 to balance a crank? is that worth it?? > > > > You tell me Barry...
