Default RE: Balanced and Blueprinted

Most of the r/c engines reviewed by Clearence Lee were balanced about 80% of the piston and rod. If they were balanced to 100% of that weight would they be smoother?

Keith Baker said one way to balance an engine without increasing the counterbalance size would be to press tungsten rods into it.
