Default RE: Balanced and Blueprinted

I had a friend who balanced K&B marine motors by drilling the crank counter weight and pressing sections of carbide(?) rod into the holes. I believe he used 60% of the weight of the rod, wristpin and piston. Carbide is denser than steel and helped get the motors closer to balanced.
