Ask your shop which they prefer. Some shops are okay using a balanced kit, others will want to balance it themselves. If your engine builder is going to recheck everything then you'll end up paying twice.
The only thing I can add is if the builder (or parts owner) finds there are sizing or taper issues w/ the crank journals that don't pass muster, then the initial balance job's cost isn't adding value to the package price.
I noticed that the subject company posted above shortly before me. Can he/they please explain how that situation would be handled, should it occur? Thanks! - Brad
