Lightened rotating assembly? The crank looks rebalanced but stock. Is the crank pulley cut down or something?
500 grams are removed from the rods and pistons

No oil squirters
What reasoning other than insanity is behind this? ;)

One less problem to worry about, but the pistons will get pretty hot and probably cause detonation earlier. I thought most people were putting a heat coating on instead. I'd trust Marco though, he's the 2.4 king.

How are the oil squirters something to worry about?

It looks the same except for the hole thats tapped next to the 2 middle ribs at the center near the deck surface. The pic you put up has it, mine doesn't. Even if mine had that extra hole driiled and tapped, it wouldn't allow the knock sensor to mount flush.

Here's another pic of what I'm talking about.

It is believed that a faulty or leaking squirter could contribute to the "crankwalking" problems with these engine. I do know that John Shepherd's engine has them blocked off as well as Marco's with no problems.

Did you get that pic from a site dedicated to 2.4L issues?
