New Lunati 4.5 forged crank, Scat rods, Icon pistons. Would one assume that it will need weight? What combinations seem to need weight added to the crankshaft? I would assume a heavy bob-weight would need more weight added to the counterweights but I have missed the obvious before. About what point does one normally see the need for weight to be added?

It should work w/o heavy metal. Sounds like a light bob wt. to me. Cool

Please report back after u get the deal done.

I've never had to add metal in any Lunati crank. Can't say the same for other brands.
