Be intersting to know how much it cost to have it balanced and how far it was off. Did you use an original crank and rod assy or mix and match??
I had a 258 balanced at the customers request. Used the stock crank and rod assy. Crank came back with a 3/8 hole about 1.4" deep on one counterweight. Engine is now good for 8000 RPm for 240 bucks
