Pistion and compression matching.

What's the easyest way to do this.
Also is it worth weight balancing pistion while they are out, they seem to vary about 2g from lightest to heavyist.
If so were is the best place to remove weight from, or should I just leave them as standard.

main reason is I've got a set of lighten and matched rods.
I've got 1KG scales that are accrate to 0.1g

I know I'll need to get the crank balanced after, but as I'm fitting a different flywheel, and adding a trigger wheel, then I'm going to need to get the crank re-blanced anyway.

a 2g variance across a set of stock pistons is quite good to be honest! It can't hurt to balance them to a finer degree, as long as you dont remove material from anywhere that is highly stressed.
