Hi, Eduard.
You would be well advised to rebalance the unit as a whole. It may
be in balance, but that is really not likely. Even machinery built
symmetrically needs balancing. And that flywheel/clutch assembly will
be spinning pretty quickly -- a little unbalance could ruin your
bearings and your day!
