Stock rods usually have a pad of metal on both ends, which is there expressly to make balancing easier. Here, Kevin Troutman of KT Engines grinds some of the metal off one of the pads to bring a rod into balance. If the rods, pistons, and crank are all in balance, it reduces vibrations and makes the engine more efficient at turning the chemical energy from the fuel into kinetic mechanical energy.
