These engines rev smoothly to 7000 and beyond. Do they really need any further balancing, unless you have done something to them to upset the factory balance???
Spend your money on something important...

I would get my rods balanced if I were preparing an engine with uprated internals. I would probably get them balanced if I were rebuilding an engine anyway. You can find a number of places that offer full dynamic balancing of all the reciprocating components in the bottom end in the back of CCC magazine, IIRC.

The better balanced the engine, the smoother it will run and the slower things will wear out.
