To get an engine running as smoothly as possible, it's important to balance everything. Balancing the connecting rods is a bit special because part of their weight belongs to the rotating mass, while the rest belongs to the oscillating mass. A special jig is required to determine the weight of both the small end and the big end. In this video, you'll see how it's done. I hope you like my work and the video.
