For $400 I will put in a set of Scat rods that are bushed. I wonder if some of the issue was the fact that the rod was not bushed.

Will suck it up and re-balance the assembly.




When we used to run our stock rods like that (unbushed) years ago we would drill a 1/8 hole in the top of the rod and champher it to give the pin some oil. it helped some but not totally.
