Hello Robert!


Just to start the wheel turning on  rebuild of my 2.1L, I called Gene
Berg Associates to inquire about a counter balanced crankshaft and get a
quote on balancing the crank,rod, and piston assemblies and they
basically told me they don't and wouldn't do any work except on
aircooled engines, period. I was surprised since they did your balancing
work.


They did tell me they would custom grind/mill  a counter balanced crank
from a stock blank  for $1595. For that kind of custom work, that's
probably not unreasonable, but I would think one could be found at a
lesser price already built.


So, any suggestions as to where to acquire a high quality counter
balanced crank for the 2.1 L , and where to have the rotating assemblies
balanced?


Thanks,


John Rodgers
