Balancing only means that the pistons, con rods and crankshaft will be
checked to see if they are within 1-2 grams of one another. The crank
gets spun and checked for harmonic imbalance.
All this is to help when she spins up to high rpms. At lower, like 3K
and below, the forces aren't all that great to necessitate the effort.
