Dan Hooper,
Would it be appropriate if you posted your private replies here on the
engine balancing question, while deleting any personally identifiable information?
For those who replied privately to Dan, would you mind if he posted the
gist of the replies for all of us to read as long as it was not identifiable?
An acquaintance of mine built/raced largest class motorcycles
professionally, worked in the engine shop of one of the nationally well known
aircraft
rebuilders (saw engines coming in, built them, dealt with warranty problems,
etc.), currently builds all his own stuff, and his advice is that at the rpm
levels we are at with Lycoming 180's and for regular non-aerobatic flying, that
the "regular" (whatever that means, probably factory) limits are good enough.
He just laughed when I started talking about balancing combustion chamber
cc, rod length, etc.
On the other hand, an engineer at Powerflow told me that in order to get the
best out of their exhaust, to check the cam because the factory limits are
so loose some don't get the scavenging done even though within factory specs.

Dear Skip,
I think you are absolutely correct. The regular Lycoming specified limits are
"good enough" to produce a "good enough" running engine.
It may not necessarily be the greatest running engine, -nor the smoothest running
engine. But it will be a "good enough" running engine.
That it's technology standards are well seasoned (I am not saying that this is
good or bad) is "good enough" for such an Engine to provide good service!
And in regards to the Powerflow exhaust and their remark on the standard Lycoming
camshaft specs, they may be loose but after all, they are "good enough" for
a standard exhaust system!
Good enough now,
Konrad

I quite frankly miss the constructive input from some great people that are no
longer actively participating on these lists because of some other "experts"
attitudes! Perhaps these good guys now rather help from the background and only
give one-on-one advice, but forever withheld from the archives (where the
info would be most needed). How many people have been turned away by the offensive
etiquette sometimes displayed here. What a strange phenomenon?
And in regards to Archie F.: What a grand resource for all of us?
I have met and talked with him during Oshkosh, and he probably forgot more about
the subject of engine performance enhancements then I will ever know about
them?
Ladies & Gentlemen, please lets practice some more class & discipline, ...instead
of offensive remarks about other peoples opinions about any given subject.
Thank you!
