Rebore one pot only?

true, my mistake. Mass is different than weight. And rotational inertia is 
determined by mass, speed, and distance from the axis, however, gravity 
DOES play a roll in rotating objects, as long as the axis is not 
perpendicular to the pull of gravity. So unless the crank is straight up 
and down, gravity will effect the motion of a rotating mass, to a lesser 
extent as rpm increases. Just think of a huge imbalanced weight on a swing 
arm. If it's not going 5000rpm, it will rotate slower on the up stroke than 
the down stroke.
