We do. We statically balance everything except the crank and the flywheel assy. Dynamically on those. Quite honestly, I suspect all of the major rebuilders do it too. Folks need to realize that most reputable rebuilders will do exactly what you ask them to do. The issue is many customers do not want to pay the additional price for the upgrades such as balancing. I think things have changed in the rebuilding world too. I cannot remember when the last time we rebuilt just a short-block for a customer. Most want a 'long-block plus' these days.
That is good to hear. Having driven several Model A's whose engines are clearly NOT balanced, I will opt for doing so when the time comes that I need to replace an engine.
