buckwild 27,

You are correct,

All of the new engine parts are balanced separately, and any new part balanced separately can be substituted.

Match marks are not needed because every part is balanced separately.

Instead of balancing parts separately, rebuilding shops save time to maximize profit by balancing an assembly. This requires match marks on every part for proper reassembly.

If any part of the assembly is changed, the complete assembly of parts needs to be rebalanced as an assembly and new match marks are needed.
