Before ripping anything apart, determine if your engine was "externally" balanced (needs the weight on the flywheel/flexplate), or "internally" balanced (does not need the weight on the flywheel/flexplate).

I tryed talking to the guy I bought the motor off of I asked him is the motor externally or internally balanced and he keeps saying yeah the motor is balanced which of course dosent answer my question. So he is no help. This is what I know about the internals it's a eagle rotating assembly. Eagle forged crank I have reciept here that he had the crank balanced.I have no idea how I can tell if this motor is externally or internally balanced. The vibration deff feels like it is coming from the clutch area and feels like something is just out of balance.

Most likely an internal balance as most shops will internal balance with an aftermarket crank and flywheel for a performance build. I do not see any weights on the flywheel in the picture. If you can unbolt the weight from the flywheel you have now, I would just do that and see if that fixes the issue.

I'd call the shop that balanced it and then remove the weight if needed, then you should be good to go. If nothing else get the fidanza flywheel resurfaced, and get a new clutch to go with it and slap it in and run.....just my $.02
