Re: changing pistons without rebalancing?
This is an old thread, but contains good information.
Does this apply to internally balanced engines only or to any kind of balanced rotating assembly?
Using a new piston that is lighter is no problem, assuming it was balanced to 50 or 51% in the first place. Substituting a heavier piston can be a problem if it's more than 10 grams or so heavier.
