Scary stuff. Seems like a hack job to me. I used to rebuild engines for a chrysler shop. It was a turn & burn shop cranking out rebuilt K-car 2.2L and 2.5L (and the occasional mitsu 2.6) 4-bangers, but even they would never have never let me do this.

Maybe they figure that the likelihood of a balancing issue causing a problem in a street car is so small that it doesn't justify boring 7 extra holes. On the other hand, if they are replacing pistons anyways, its just the machinist's labor cost.

It's a cheapskate, penny-pinching hack move if you ask me, especially for a company like Jasper that, presumably, has in-house machine shop.
