I talked to the machine shop. The balancing shop that only uses lead forgot to send my crank to Precise Engine. Supposedly got dropped off this afternoon. At least I will be able to pick it up in person. I will be in Saskatoon for the next 3 to 6 months, so no rush on this anyways. As long I get it together for spring.

Just got a call from Jim at Precise Engine in Saskatoon. He called me, noticed the really nice parts for my Olds 350, thanks Mark and assumed I wanting it internally balanced, which I do. I mentioned Mark was thinking 2 slugs, he will let me know if it is anything ridiculous. Sounds like the final piece will finally be ready!

Well, anyone who says internal balancing is cheap. It must have been externally balanced with heavy Speedpro pistons or it was another lie. It is on the machine and needs a lot of weight. It is looking at $1500 to internally balance. Oh well it is only money🤑.

Christian, I don't get it. That seems like waaayyy too much. Can you elaborate on the reason for the $1500 charge? How many slugs of mallory are required, and how many labor hours are they charging for?

This is blowing your "budget Build" out of the water.

No doing it, 5 slugs FYI, just crying all the way. I guarantee getting Mark Remmel to do it with dyno numbers included would have cost less. Lesson learned.

I’ve run 7500 rpm externally balanced race engines. $1500 would go a long way to finishing the motor. I hope based Marks recommendation this motor makes a ton more power by being internally vs externally balanced.
