If the home DIY'r is able to reassemble the engine to factory tolerences, get the weights correct on the crankshaft connections and then manually turn the crank and it feels smooth and rotates easily how do we know if we truley got it exact, because I'm getting the idea these Engines are suppose to be exact.
At a engine rebuild shop do they have machines to check themselves as they go?
What about when you finally bring the engine up to 6 -7000rpm and it must be smooth, do rebuild shops have machines for this or is it the experience of the builder?
Since balance is so important how can we replace our own clutch assembly and not mess up the fine balance, surely there is slight weight variations in the new parts? From what I read and see you take off the old flywheel, disk, plate and bolt on the new, there is no rebalancing happening at this stage?

Any thoughts?
