318 crankshaft specs

I think you missed the part where I said "pretty much if you have to swap out the crank,you will have to have your rotating assembly balanced going off of what you say correct?"

I did not say that it would not need balanced...what I meant by "eliminates" is that since he has punch over pistons...it eliminates the numbers you tossed out in grams for factory piston weights seems how his are not factory.

anyhow, I get what your saying and I agree.

but before he starts thinking about cranks and balancing and all that mumbo jumbo,he needs to find someone with a 318 crank to compare snout diameters to so he knows if his is within spec and to know if he has a wrong balancer or wrong crank or worn part or whatever the case may be.

Because he balancer should not have came off the crank by hand.
