Balance weight at 180 and 170 degrees each weighing 14.5 grams. This removed 0.68 IPS for a final balance of 0.01 IPS that clocked around the prop. Basically noise.
Took the engine down to California Power Systems to have Bryan witness the tear down. Bryan has been the only sympathetic ear in this whole adventure so far.
