Every engine I have ever built was balanced. You must reduce the harmonics inside the engine or it will slowly tear itself apart over time. It is like driving 60mph on unbalanced tires. Once you have the balance gone you have a solid foundation for a good engine. Just remember to make sure you match your parts. Don't use a killer cam with stock heads, compression and intake. Good luck with thebuild.
