Why did all of your machining have to be redone rather than just balancing the crank?
Attempted to explain this in an earlier post, you really can't just balance the crank, it doesn't work that way. As for additional machining, not sure I understand that, but the entire rotating assembly has to be taken into account. It could be a piston or rod way out of weight, or the flywheel or the pressure plate off balance. You also have to have the weight of all the rotating components in order to establish the bob weights for the crank. It is not "just balancing the crank".
