ok. So just exactly how is the crank "rebalanced" for heavier pistons or rods????

Suppose i build an engine with heavier pistons. Now, is weight added to the crank or is the crank lightened???? Add weight to counterweights or grind weight from counterweights.

Just exactly what changes about the crank are needed to compensate for the heavier pistons?????

Does the crank get lighter or heavier???
