Enrique, rods/pistons are balanced by matching pistons to the lowest weight
piston, and matching weight on both the big and small ends of the rods using a
fixture that supports the end of the rod not being weighed and also the end
being weighed in a way that weight is not skewed. I don't know if there is any
benefit in equaling weights as you propose. John
