Has anyone considered that the "unfinished" rod journal lightening hole might be done that way to set the max. designed bobweight? If they'd punched that hole all the way through then they'd have to go back and take material off the counterweights to compensate. Am I wrong here? Let me know.

This is exactly my thoughts.

My guess is they leave some weight in them because its easier to take weight out than to add weight on in the balancing process.

The holes aren't all that big either - maybe 1/2" or 5/8" - unlike a stock crank that has huge holes.
