Can someone confirm that this is the correct balancer. I dont see a part # on it. I guess most of you guys would recommend the timing tape again?

Question : since its a neutral balance engine does that mean the balancer and whatever i mount onto the back of the crank have no play in getting the engine balanced?

I cleaned up the casting inside the oil galley and outside the block and Im assuming my next step is off to the machine shop. I plan to talk with them about just cleaning up all the gasket surfaces maybe with a quick swipe and doing as little as possible to the block but still have something I can work with. Turn the crank whatever it needs.
