Not gonna answer, but i am sure being engineered for 8,000 rpms, being dropped 3 inches is not gonna damage it. But better safe than sorry!

How much money do u have to spend? regardless, if you are gonna build your motor, why not get it knifed and rebalanced.

I second that, better safe than sorry.

Yes they can, like everyone has said; take it to get balanced/polished or even lightened.

I doubt anything was damaged, but I would have a machine shop at least take a look at it. Won't cost you a dime and it as everyone else said, better safe than sorry.

I believe its 150 for micropolish/balance + shipping. They even have a lil paragraph that tells you exactly how many rpms the balance is good for.
