Re: What is "Bob" weight ? (zrracer)
When he balances your crank he will add the weight (in grams) of EVERYTHING hanging off of it (rods, pistons, rings & bearings), they even add a couple of grams for oil. This number is your "bob weight" they will bolt weights equal to your "bob weight" to the crank and spin it. ...redvetracr
