How Engine Balancing Improves Performance and Longevity

Engine balancing is one of the most important — and most overlooked — steps in building a reliable high-performance engine. At Fastime Performance, we balance every rotating assembly that leaves our shop to ensure smooth, efficient power.

Why Balance Matters

Even small weight differences between pistons, rods, and crankshaft journals can cause vibration and stress. Balancing reduces those forces, preventing premature bearing wear and power loss at high RPM.

Performance Benefits

A properly balanced engine runs smoother, revs quicker, and produces more consistent horsepower. It also helps the crankshaft and bearings last longer — a must for race engines that see high loads and RPM.

In-House Balancing at Fastime Performance

Our Taylor, MI machine shop uses precision balancing equipment to match each component of your rotating assembly. Whether you’re building a drag, circle track, or street performance engine, balanced internals make the difference between good and great.
