I was trying to get this engine going on a tight budget (thanks to Tim McMaster for his help in that regard). I read Ted Eaton's articles on balancing engines and wondered if I could get away with just doing a static balance and skip the dynamic balance. The idea is that as long as the reciprocating assembly is balanced, the rotating assembly will be ok. I have a 1Kg scale coming that's accurate to .1 gram and I'll follow the instructions about matching pistons, rod ends, etc. Thoughts? Best regards, Paul Menten Meridian, Idaho
