LT1 balancing, judt need some people to verify it for me

Did a search and founf there are many different opinoons of the LT1 balancing


This is what i got

The Flywheel is NOT nutrally balanced. In stock form, it is coounter wieghted to externally balance the stock motor

The Harmonic balancer IS nutrally balanced Even tho there is a pin in one side



So for us aftermarket stroker guys who have their motors nutrally balanced INTERNALLY All we need to do it have the flywheel balanced NUTRALLY

Correct?

Correct. Usually you can just grind the weight off the flexplate to get it close on an auto.

Now I know everyone doesnt have that pin in their Harmonic Balancer so why was that put there?
a)To counter-weight the motor balance or
b)was it done seperately of the motor and it just needed that weight to nuetrally balance the dampner?

I ask this question because I had my LT1 internnally balanced so everything on the outer motor needs to be nuetrally balanced in my case..
