I was under the imression that each piece was balanced
seperatly.  I ask because I need to replace a rod in
my MC-2 engine, with a known good one from my MC
engine.  I'd like to avoid getting the whole thing
rebalanced, plus, when I rebuilt the engine the first
time, I didn't pay any attention to how it was
re-assembled in regards to original locations.  Do I
need to have it all balanced again?
Thanks,
