How does one go about race balanceing a crank?

you take it to a machine shop experienced in balancing cranks.

No ####in shit! i would like to know how one would go about doing this, not just that a shop can.

suffice it to say i highly doubt you have the equipment or expertise to be balancing a crankshaft.

this is what you'd need to get it done

something tells me this isn't cheap to purchase, so i'd advise not even worrying about how they do it and leave it up to the pros. i don't know exactly how they make gasoline out of raw petroleum but once again i don't have the proper tools so it really doesn't matter now does it.
