Is balancing really necessary on a lightened flywheel?

[maardak@yahoo.ca (Mardak)]

I talked to both machinists that worked on my flywheel and asked their
input on balancing my now resurfaced and lightened flywheel.  They both
asked if I was balancing the pressure plate, crankshaft, etc.  They
said I'd be wasting my money if I balanced the flywheel without
balancing the rest of the reciprocating mass...  ('reciprocate', what a
nice word :-)

I guess any kind of improvement to reduce "harmonics" would be
beneficial, but am I really going to feel the difference?  Any money
savings at this point in my already WAY overbudget 2.0L swap would be
nice too...

Thanks!

Mark.
