So he just matched them to all together to come out to the same weight when he mounted the pistons to the rods.

According to the machinist, the new rod and piston combo was 100 grams less than the domed, forged pistons and cast rods that I pulled out of the engine. They had to drill out some material from the crank to lighten it up to match the new pistons and rods.

Everything is home now and we should be assembling this weekend!
I had to have my crank drilled too, yeah Bob is right, now the fun stuff!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
