Since the slightest discrepancy in Bob weight can lead to premature engine failure and this probably holds true the higher the power and the higher the RPM that is being run.
I wouldn't say that it proves anything. I have not weighed them, nor have you, and no one has stated any numbers that "prove" anything. Lets stay on track. I am again still saying I don't know the numbers, but neither does anyone else (or at least they have not posted them). I would like to know what the factory balance is. I know for a FACT that the ring gaps were not acceptable at all. Gaps were (top ring) .015-.02 off max spread. That's pretty bad.
