It's that snowball effect. The rods were borderline at best. The crank was external balance and ok for that engine. The balancer was ok for that engine. At the end of the day, I must insure my investment. Being that chunk of aluminum. If I stick a rod through the side of it, it won't be because I cut a few corners. I want something that is going to stand up to the torture I plan to put it through. If there's one thing I've learned in the last 3 years building this car, do it right the second time, I mean first time.
This puts all my other do overs to shame.
