i'm looking at getting a 355 stroker kit for my hq and some of the kits are balanced and some are not
so i went to a local reconditioner and asked how much to balance one of these kits, the better ones by eagle, scat etc, not the ones that take 10kg of mallory metal per cheek
$500-$700
BLOODY HELL !!!!!!!!!
i thought some of the retailers offered balancing as a $1-$200 option. when i mentioned this to ned, he said he didn't want to get into a discussion about $200 balancing jobs
so am i being unrealistic ? (it did include flex plate and harmonic balancer. big effin deal). or are we being bent over our bonnets on the sunny coast of queensland
yes sonny, it's an HQ ute |

Hmm, ill consult the old man (engine reconditioner) but usually its a case of you get what you pay for. These things take time. Also, theres static and dynamic balancing. Check whats being referred to when prices are quoted. |

no way should you be charged that! thats highway robbery. $300 at the most, as the kits could balanced from the manufacturer.
