Did you install new oil jets? New ones cost only about $9.00 each at Mits with a discount.
How much was the balancing? My machine shop charged $285.00 and it's within 1/2 gram. Are you balancing the flywheel and clutch assembly separate from the rotating assembly?

Lay the oil pump on a flat surface and insert the bolts in the holes so they stick out above the oil pump and least 1/2 inch. Always measure the bolt hole depth too. I may be able to send a photo later in the week.
Yep those are wisco pistons .030 over and 3sx rods. I installed new oil jets new crank new everything basically haha.

My machine work got done for free because I go to an automotive school and it just so happens I had machine shop class now so I got to do the work myself (with help of instructor) I am going to balance them separately from the rotating assembly. A picture would be helpful if you get the chance. Thanks.
