needed. If a lot more lead was needed then..
Is this within production tolerance or ..

Hans- 10 is not unusual because not only are we balancing the flywheel, which can take anywhere from 2 to 6 or more correction clips, we are also correcting the Moment of Inertia of the flywheel, which can involve adding up to several pairs of opposite location clips. C2JonW
