go and buy a nice scale that has grams on it put each piston and rod on it and weigh each 1 at a time and shave material off till the all way the same..

good read

the best place on the rods would be from the sides and the pistons builders usually remove material from the underside of the piston by either sanding or drilling small holes

so if i got what that article said, you balance rotating after you get the pistons to within like, 5 grams of each other, same with rods, then balance the crank, in that sort of order, because the journal end of the rod rotates, the pistons reciprocates, and if you balance the reciprocating end, it makes weird vibrations.

yes you would want to have your components within a couple grams of each other then assemble the bottom end with eveything attached including flywheel and balance the whole assembly.
