Look for holes and dimples that don't look stock.

A -properly- balanced crankshaft should have the pulley and flywheel attached, so unless you have those that were used when the crankshaft was balanced, concerning yourself as to whether or not its balanced is moot. Unless of course you're just checking to see if you might have been screwed or if your friend was mistaken.

Bump a one month old thread, where information has already been provided to say 'True'... 'Story'.

No... no, I don't think so.
