Default Flexplate has a small weight attached..

Quick question,, there is a smallweight welded onto my flexplate (a balance weight, I assume) and I just need to know if I will have to put that at a certain point to balance my rotating assembly or if it was just to balance the flexplate itself??? I need to know so I can get the thing back on when the engine is done...

super easy dude... there is only 1 place you can bolt it up... so it will be balanced no worries!

why is there only one place to bolt it up??? There are 6 bolt holes (i think),, So i could rotate the flexplate and then bolt it on in different spots on the crank .. or am I missing something???
