The $100 exhaust studs fix a different problem than vibration.

That's a stretch since we have documented instances of stuff still vibrating, cracking, and backing out on balanced BP's.

But I'd agree it would likely help

I did not balance my rotating assembly. Makes chicks super horny. Vibrates like a boss. I did balance all of the rods and pistons seperately.

Then again, I don't have anything to compare it to.

This is all pointless if my valve cover isn't polished. That is of highest importance.

I guess my build will be screwed then.
I am just getting rods, rings and swapped bearings around to get the right clearances. All that with a quick bottle brush hone.
Maybe a hot tank and a couple of surfaces.

I thread lock almost everything to help reduce this.

Ugh, somehow bought the wrong fuel rail adapter from the UK. So now I have to wait another forever for it to come in. And maybe they will take this one back.

Sometimes I wonder how I've made it this far in life.

Same. But then I remember, I have not made it far at all.

Let me know when you're assembling, I could try to head over for an hour or two with my snap-on digital torque wrench. Mains and rods aren't something you wanna use a click type craftsman with. Letty can entertain Hailey.
