Just got a case of re-balance blues.

Since the new Ross pistons will be lighter than the old TRWs, I figure that perfectly balanced rotating assy is gonna schwing a tad heavy in the counterweight.

You bet I'm a gonna weigh a TRW then a Ross. to know what the gram(s) difference is.

Hmmm, wonder if I can just drill-out the front and rear holes that got weight welded in...I got a drill and some masonry drillbits. Knowingly gotta remove excess mass from 180degrees away from the throw. Question is do I remove twice the piston grams or 4x ?
