The answer is: It's impossible to remove 10 grams from a Porsche rod without challenging to integrity.
Next question, what are the end weights? Where is the difference? Do the other rods match end to end? Are you willing to risk an overhaul in order to save a few bucks?
Every engine builds has compromises but the best route to success when building these old engines is to keep the computerizes to a minimum.
Do you plan to ring the neck on the little hot rod? Give yourself the best possible chance at success.
A story from a past poster: He was having trouble making a rod and piston combination balance so he welded a bolt into the wrist pin to compensate for the imbalance. Would it work? sure but at some point the elegance of your craftsmanship will reflect on the entire project.
