Default RE: Balanced and Blueprinted

Even multi cylinder engines are never perfectly balanced. The term does not mean the balancing is perfect, but that it is better than stock. But it is the blueprinting that makes more power, especially matching the ports. Often a higher volume and pressure oil pump is installed and the journal clearances are widened to match the new pump. This decreases friction of the spinning crank and pushrods.
