Question Calling all who has rebuilt a KA24DE
do you really need to balance your engine/crank when doing a stock rebuild? like when just doing a hone, replacing the gaskets, bearings, rings, head studs, etc... and using old crank, piston, and rods.

the stock stuff is pretty balanced as it is...

you won't really gain that much by spending the money... especially if you are just rebuilding to stock anyway...
