That looks pretty good. It'll look better when it's all one color.

Yeah and you only need the Mallory if you don't have enough mass in the counterweights... As I said.. the 383 Eagle 4340 3.750" stroke crank that was just balanced internally with a JE blower piston, Eagle 5.7" Rod, 45g's of rings and a 140g pin (which is a HEAVY setup) didn't need it and this is with a 5.7 rod which reduces the counterweight clearance on the bottom of the piston. NVetro's thread has a Dragonslayer with basically the same deal needing $700 worth of blance work vs. this Eagle with a $250 balance job and it's perfect. Then again, he had a lot of "problems" in his setup.
