Question Balancing question
If I reused the crank, rods, and possibly my pistons when I rebuild my 302, would I still have to go to a shop and spend like 200 or so dollars to get it balanced or could I just put it back together myself with no problems?

For a low buck ring job don't worry about balancing the engine.
