Is it possible have a flywheel balanced without the crank? 

 

If so, where does this in or near Surrey and what should you pay?

 

Cheers!

It is pretty pointless if the crankshaft, flywheel, clutch and front pulley are not done as a sub-assembly.

unless it is a verto as they were sold as a balanced set by BL/Rover.

 

and as we know they can be way out.  better than nothing.

Yes. If the Crank and other spinning parts are done, there's no reason why it won't come up good too.

crankshaft and damper are balanced and its possible the flywheel is too - I never had it checked.

 

its pre-verto, the flywheel does have two holes drilled that I thought were factory balancing - which I now assume not?

I've used these guys in the past http://cmesuk.com/ just across the other side of the M3 ... not 100% sure but I think they balance too.  Do lots of A series for the inline racing boys.
