I'm not going to touch the crank - it is staying in the block - I am not going to remove it no no no no no no no no!!!! The crank is good. I'm not worried about it. I just need to get the combined weights as close to each other as possible. At the moment I think the maximum difference is about 20 grams. The bits that came out had a max difference of 6 grams and I was able to whittle that down to 4 grams without too much arsing about. I'm not going to accept a max difference of 20 grams now.
