Yes. They should be balanced rod to rod and end to end for each rod. Ray

... and do the pistons. Do a search on the subject and you will get a lot of different answers but basically yes, to get the best performance and engine life out of even a stock build using stock parts it is probably worth the time and effort to balance the whole rotating assembly. Balancing takes the unevenness out of the mix. There are some videos on this including an at home balancing video which I did not look at.
