I use Brothers Machine in Ontario, CA for mine right now.
Hi, are you referring to dynamic balancing? I am referring to dynamic balancing? does brothers machine shop dynamically balances engines?

What, is the problem for me is, having a machine shop that you requested your engine to be balacned, only to find out that their form of balancing is static.

Yes the rods, pistons are staticly balanced. However, the crank,pulley, flywheel and pressure plate should be dynamically balanced.

Further, wow the bobb weights would be the max in balancing. The problem is I had a machine shop balance a friends engine only to fond out it was done staticly. Also a "f" up valve job.
