Guest Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Are there advantages to balancing a 401 in a 65 Riv? It's street driven and not going to the track. Also, would you recommend line boring? Thanks for the assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 For an extra $100 or so why not have it done. If you turn up the performance up one day you will not have to worry about the short block, and you can be sure there are less nasty harmonics. <P>A lot of reman shops do the line bore as a matter of standard procedure. I would not do it unless it was indicated, or the crank was tight in the journals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 Thanks for the reply. The shop wants to charge me $175 for balancing and I didn't know if it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugsSin Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 I would spend the $175 in a heartbeat. That nailhead sounds good at idle and WIDE pen.<BR> Very cheap insurance policy. <BR> Enjoy, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
