I thought you meant they used the old flywheel to balance the new one. It's a pain in the @ss, but you take a junk crank and dampner, mount the old flywheel to it, balance the crank to the old flywheel. Then mount the new flywheel to it, and balance the new flywheel to the junk crank. It's two complete balance jobs, just to get a corrected flywheel for an allready assembled motor. Plus the machinest needs to have a crank and dampner to do this. Then if he's really cool, he'll mount the pressure plate to it and correct it for neutral balance because they are often a little bit out.
