I made my third trip out to Lake Havasu City, AZ to pick up engine parts from Ollie's. Tim and Andrew have been a pleasure to work with and Tim completed the work in the 4 months that he originally estimated.
Evidence of balancing the connecting rods: Tim removed material from the top and the bottom of the rods as necessary.
Measuring the weight of each rod:
Recording the rod weight data and assigning the piston / wrist pin / con rod combinations to their cylinder position:
Bagged up each con rod with it's assigned piston / wrist pin number and cylinder position:
Next will be washing the crankcase halves with soapy water as per Tim's recommendation.
