I can't imagine anyone balancing a crankshaft with an external engine
component, like a flex plate or harmonic balancer, or hub, attached. What
if one of those requires replacement on an assembled engine? Disassemble
the engine to re-balance? Seems much more logical to me to balance each
component individually. One might, in an especially critical application,
then test their balance while assembled, but even then, if a system
imbalance appeared, I'd want to find and correct the out-of-balance
component.

JMHO,
