Sounds correct, but I'll be darned if engine shops around here use the terms as intended.

For giggles, I would say that I maintained my balanced assembly by having the new flywheel matched to the original flexplate. (Okay, not really the flex plate, because that actually refers to the thin steel triangular bit bolted to the back of the cast monster with the starter ring gear on it.)

The shops around here go full racehead when you bring up a balanced assembly. They want it to turn 10k and have the friction disc and pressure plate matched up, too. Then again, they still don't seem to own any metric tools. Ah, America. LOL.
