.......or buy a B&M plate, run a neutral converter and a 360 damper an run it externally balanced.
(You'll still need a piston assembly balance of course, but this way you can avoid filling the crank with mallory.)
That's your quote genius. So grab an assembly intended for internal balance and do your suggestion. Your statement(s) are inherently wrong on it's face!
I won't even start on the issues of external balancing when you have the opportunity to internal balance.
Balancing the piston won't help with a setup intended/designed for internal or external... you do that with either set up. I won't bore you with the detail of why, because I'm clearly not an intellectual genius compared to you.
My point was specific to crank balancing only - If the crank balance from the company couldn't be trusted - consider an unbalanced kit and balance it externally as per the externally balanced 360.
Not that easy and based on this statement alone, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
You want to insult me, go ahead... I've been called much worse by better.
Your post when you are wrong tell me more than I, and the rest here, need to know about you. And there have been a few! Defend to the end, it's only a small leak said the captain of the Titanic! :-D
It's not a hysterical tantrum, it's making sure people don't destroy their engines which they probably paid good money for relying on bad info distributed on the web.
I won't continue this. I hope the OP talks with a competent machinist and not take Mals advice.
