I would be interested to learn what you did to balance your single
rotor. Did you add weight to the counterweights?

 
Hi Fred,
 
I'm afraid that all I did to balance the assembly was open the box I found on my doorstep.  My credit card balance factored into it some as well :-) 

Were the counterweights the only "flywheel" in this latest smooooth run?

Since I already had the large washers that I was trying to use with the dampener plate, I added those to the flex plate.  It amounts to just over 2 lbs total, at the 4 bolt holes where the torque converter normally attaches.  That's all I have in addition to the counterweights. 

Cheers,
Rusty
