Message You cannot balance pistons.

This is because the pistons reciprocate, not rotate with the crank. You can only balance the crank and about half of the rod (the part of the rod attached to the crank is rotating, and can be counterbalanced. The part of the rod attached to the piston is reciprocating and cannot be counterbalanced.)
