Did you balance the reciprocating assembly as well?

I dont understand the vodoo magic used to ballance the rods and pistons and I do not have the equipment to ballance the crank so I had a heavy duty diesel engine shop in virginia beach called "gregorys fleet supply" ballance the front pully, harmonic ballancer, crank, rods, pistons and flex plate for $260 if I remember right.
I also machined the heads for valve guide seals since the original 6.2L and 6.5 did not use any valve guide seals.
So now I have the only 6.5L that does not consume any oil.
I also went with low to very low tension oil rings:
