Anybody have any experiences doing this? 22RE engine.
How much do you figure it helped? Thanks.

And, how much did it cost?

This will do next to nothing on a 22RE. Balancing is done on high reving engines to get ride of harmonics that the weight transfer of the piston/crank make. The pistons and rods are weighed and then material is added or removed from the crank weights to "balance" the action. This is the basic concept anyway.

I wouldn't do it on a "grandpa" driver - I've done it both ways: balanced and non-balanced.
I do notice a difference at idle, but just to be fair the truck is different also, so it could be a number of things.
