A triple beam scale will measure to a finer tolerance ( tenths of a gram and up to 2610 grams  with the extra weights ) for under $100.00 cdn  used.  I went this route for my engine parts. I didn't want to spend $200.00 + for a scale that measured in 2 tenths and only up to 200 grams. a piston weighs 450 grams + and rods are 600 +

I bought mine from e-bay for $50.00 US and had it within a week of my purchase.  I use mine every day to weigh #4 - 3/8\" screws into batches .  I rigged up a dental floss jig to weigh each rod end to exact tolerances when I did my motor.

Here is one on e-bay.  Have it shipped to Haggens in Blaine and pay them $3.00 for taking a shipment for you.  Try to go around 1:00 in the afternoon  on a week day at the truck crossing, and it will only take you 15 min to go across and be back.
