Default engine balance problem

hey everyone, i have a problem with my pistons not being the same weight .....three are 284 and then my fourth one is like 277??? so is there any way to balance that out because i was told that they should at least be within 5 of each other. The reason the one is lighter is because one was dropped and i had to get another one. thanks alot

They should be within .5 gram of each other, at least in my opinion. I wouldn't run anything less in my engine.

You will need to remove material from the three 284g pistons to make them match the 277g unit.

send out the 3 to a machine shop and get them to match the lightest one
