Re: Homemade internal balancing
from what my machinist told me when doing my z6 vitara build, since we have "flat" cranks there is no need to balance the crank, just match the weight of each rod/piston/pin/clip/ring combo with each other and you're golden. My 13 psi 8,000rpm panty rippers dont seem to mind it so its all good with me.

Re: Homemade internal balancing
I asked the machine shop this q and he told me that simply the big end of the rods must all weigh the same, and the small end of the rods must all weigh the same.
Additionally, all rods must all have the same weight
I figured this can be achieved by holding the opposite end with a pencil and laying the other end onto a small scale. (But thats just my idea, this may not work)

theroetically it could work but is is just easier to weigh the whole rod itself and go from there.
