Nog, how was your crank balanced?
If it involved removing material in any way then the rules say it's not allowed.
Factory tolerances? Was the item found to be outside these tolerances to start with? If not then your arguement for reliability falls down, it's good enough as it is and doesn't NEED balancing.

For what it's worth, (assuming material has been removed in order to balance it) I don't see what you've done is giving any noticable performance advantage, so personally wouldn't have a problem with it.
BUT... it's subjective to opinion isn't it? So what must be done is simply follow the rule book and not have an entrant try arguing that his/her opinion is of higher importance than the written rules we've all subscribed to.

too much sense in this post....


if its just had parts mixed and matched, but not modified and standard parts from standard ebngines, surely thats fine isnt it? only if its actually been changed to bring in to whatever tolarance and has it therefore been modified. Thats how I read and interprit the rules, seems simple?!?!
