I've lost track. Have we discussed whether the engine was internally or externally balanced? Stock flexplates have additional holes drilled to compensate for the necessary external balance, and the only welding you see on them is the beads that hold the ring to the body. Then we go and have our engines internally balanced and the shop doing the balancing is either going to drill holes on the other side of the flexplate to get it back to neutral or they are going to weld on steel tabs on the hole side. Just wondering how the old flexplate was balanced and if the new ones were balanced the same?
