Well does your car shake like hell when it runs? Cuz if it doesn't then the flywheel has to be balanced. Its pretty obvious when a rotating part isn't balanced... they tend to shake things apart.

Rep Power: 0 There are 2 types of being balanced... the guy i am going to take my flywheel to to get it lightened said he is only able to do it to neutrally balanced flywheels. I really dont know what he is talking about, just hoping someone can tell me yes or no.

Rep Power: 424 So what you really need to know is if the crankshaft is internally balanced. That would make the flywheel neutral balanced.
I can't say for sure with a D-series. I know other Honda engines are internally balanced, but I'd have to look around some more and see what I can turn up. Its tough to find superdetailed D-series info.
But why grind it down when a new lightened one is only $250-$300?
Hardly seems worth it to grind the stock one lighter, it'll make it weaker since your cutting out material thats designed to be there.
