I checked several balance cards for engine types that we have built with alum and steel rods--it appears pretty consistent that the steel big end is generally about 10% heavier that an aluminum rod ahd that the recip end was generally pretty close in weight--so that would probably mean adding around 100grams to the bob weight which would be about one piece of mallory in each end of your crank
