how much do machine shops charge to balance your crankshaft?if im using manley rods and cp pistons theres no need to balance them because they come out the factory balanced perfectly correct?

 

my shop charged me $145 to balance the entire rotating assembly. i used eagle rods, wiseco pistons, stock crank. some people will tell you that balancing is not needed on an inline engine, but i figured for $145, why not?

 

benson charges 150 to polish and balance the crank ..pm earl....

A little bit of inblanace at 9 k rpm is huge

 

somebody is trying to charge me 300 to balance and polish the crank isnt that a rip off.

Yes... OEM cranks are usually quite close... and its not multiple hours of labor to do....

 

I got my whole rotating assembly done for $175

that included crank, rods, pistons, clutch, and flywheel. I would have balanced the crank pulley too but I'm already running an aftermarket damper
