Ok, I have a Jensen built P1800 (#2421) that could use some freshening up. Luckily though I found a running B18 locally and immediately tore it apart. Before I send it into the machine shop though I would like to polish/weight match the rods and pistons before a final weight match (and balance) at the machine shop (where the rods will be shot peened and fitted with ARP hardware). But, does anyone know the approximate weight of these rods (and pistons for that matter)? My scale is only rated for 200g and these things are much beefier than that. I was thinking of getting a 1000g one, I'm just not sure if that would do the trick.
