RE: Balanced flywheel

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The trans mount is new. I have NOT checked the bh for center, but the 
pilot bearing was a new Dakota piece when I first put the 4-spd in, and 
it seemed to seat in the crank ok with no binding. I never had the 
flywheel checked for balance because I didn't think they WERE 
balanced... was I wrong about that?
