FWIW, you will likely find the present flywheel assembly will be fine with the cam that your engine has unless it is a brand new cam. It has been my experiences that if yours is a reground camshaft, they do not produce the same low-end torque as what the IB330 camshaft does. If so, the heavier flywheel is not going to be of much advantage anyway.

4 cyl. engines are not balance as a unit, each piece is balanced separately.
