Does anyone know how much a 273 wrist pin weigh?

Need to gain some weight on balancing a 360. Thanks

there ya go Michael. I tried to google it & couldn't find anything definitive. I just weighed a KB 360 pin for you to see the difference & it weighed 127 grams. EDIT It's 3" long & ~.117" wall thickness

In the meantime, how about a steel sleeve that is a press fit in your existing wristpin? Or fill it with lead or a small tungsten slug or Brass or something?

If I had one I'd send it to you.

You could freeze what your inserting in the freezer overnight & heat the pin to an appropriate temp. You'd want to make sure it's centered when you're done. Not sure on this but might be feasable to thread the ID & screw something threaded in with red loctite. You'd sure think one of those antique car sites would have a line on 273 pins & even an aftermarket one would have to be the heavy variety you need
