opinion on tearing down new race engine
 
Would you guys tear down an engine replace the rods, then rebalance a crank to lose 3.5 lbs rotating weight?

YES 3.5 pounds....

Going to aluminum??If you got the extra money,I guess so.Wonder how much 3.5 pounds would help?Alot,I'd say.

IF it aint broke I wouldn't fix it.

Nope!

Possibly where you lose weight could come back to haunt you later. Like was said. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
