After weighing my new K-1 H-Beam rods,the lightest to heaviest is a difference of 5 grams. Should that be a concern when having the rotating assembly balanced? My friend from Ohio says NO...but,my machinist seems to think it should be balanced with the balancer(externally) Who's right? I didn't think 5 grams was enough to worry about...since they have to be equalized anyway! School me on this,"Engine Masters"!

The Hi Po industry standard has been + or - one gram on all roatating parts.Shoot for + .5 grams to - .5 grams On connecting rods you need to know which end the weight is off on, IE big end or wrist pin end and adjust as needed, find the lightest one and make all the other match it
