How do they balance rotating components for an engine build?
Got all my bearings in and checked for their clearances. Need to get everything balanced before assembly.
How do they balance the components and which ones do they balance (crank, rods, pistons, crank pulley, fly, pressure plate, etc)?

Hello. The parts that move up, down and rotate are balanced. Pistons and rods are balanced by making them all weigh the same. The rotating parts are balanced by making all sides weigh the same so one side is not heavier than the other.

$120 for balancing everything.
Does this sound reasonable?

Yes thats very good, actually too good. How much is it costing you to put this motor together?
I've been doing everything so far so it hasnt cost me anything but parts (and the GE work), but they are starting to add up....
