of course my friend, if u want to have a smooth engine to rev 6k u have to balance the crankshaft with the pistons and the flywheel, and the other pulley at the front, unless u have a neutral pulley and flywheel just piston rod and crankshaft. anyway no one is doing balance so if u don't, u wont miss nothing special.

So basically you are saying nobody is doing it becuase it isn't necessary? I'm in the same boat but don't have the original flexplate and I'm swapping to a manual and currently have a new one that I need to match up. I don't want to remove the crankshaft but I will if I have to....but I WON't remove the head. I will just buy another engine at that point as it would be cheaper. Running an electric fan in the front.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Simpler=Better
