(01-31-2019, 09:49 AM)Keino(01-30-2019, 11:40 PM)NZScott In the 617 factory manual there's a procedure of where to grind off material from rods (well I remember reading some manual about it once)/
(also has the max tolerance for weight difference)
Read in the haynes book but couldn't find it there. =(
Balancing is best done by a shop that specializes in balancing. There is a right and wrong way to do this. And there is equipment that a shop has that we don't normally have. The OM 617 engines I have had balanced have been way off from the factory.
This goes true with the OM 606 engine as well, they are better then the OM 617 for balance but are still not as good as they could be.
And no you don't have to balance the crankshaft if you are just replacing a piston or con rod, but have the set of whatever you are replacing matched balanced.
My theory is you have it torn down this far why not balance the whole thing, balancing is fairly reasonable. My balancer tries to keep everything within a 1-2 grams if possible.
I spoke to F-tune and they highly recommend balancing if you have a OM 606 torn down.
Just my thoughts.
