Default Is the 4.6 internally or externally balanced?

I have a different flywheel on my engine than what came stock and have a bit of a lope now, a bit of a shake rather. The flywheel does not have any added weights, but it does have about three 1/2" cut outs in the flywheel face. Does anyone know whether the 4.6 is externally or internally balanced? Thanks all.

I am not positive, but I am guessing that it is externally balanced, hence the balance/dampner on the crank pulley, just my thought, I could be wrong

The 4.6 is internally balanced. The crank damper is for extra measure.
