Is there a direct formula/percentage for figuring out how much Mallory Metal will be needed in balancing? In other words say I have a 1000 gram piston,pin,locks,rings assembly that has been accurately balanced to the total rotating assembly...Now I just added 200 grams to the pistons. Is there a formula that can tell me how much Mallory Metal will be needed....no algebra, trig or calculus please.
Thanks
Curt
Oh yeah...THAT'S gonna leave a mark!

So would the end result be more or less Mallory metal required than piston weight discrepancy? or roughly times two, times 4 ???

The bobweight used to balance may be in the range of 2200 grams and you are changing that by 200 grams by adding to the reciprocating weight a 200 gram heavier piston(2 pistons on each throw but you use 1/2 of the recip weight). No math(I promised).
