Got a 318. Have KB pistons that are lighter than stock. Also have Eagle SIR rods that are lighter. All together 1 whole piston,pin,keeper and rod weigh 237 grams less than the TRW 318 piston, pin and rod. This will be rebalenced with the cranks counterweight being lighted to match. So what is the safe limit for a cast crank? And humor me, I dont want a 340 or 360, a teen is a very good engine. DaveJ
