The assembled engine is dynamically balanced with the flywheel in place. remove stock flywheel= lose balance of the motor.
Save the billet flywheel forwhen you tear the motor down, since the only way to have similar NVH leveles will be to balance the crank with flywheel and damper in place.

Well, that kind of tells the story! Dang! Don't guess the billet flywheel makers see a need to disclose that information do they?

Seems I recall a parts drawing of our engine that shows an adjustable balance shaft in the front. Is that correct? If so, can the engine be re-balanced 'in the car'?
