Default RE: engine/prop balancing
The counter balance on the crank opposes all the weight of the crank pin end of the rod and half the weight of the wrist pin end plus half the weight of the wrist pin, piston, and ring.

Generally, you are better off to leave the engine itself alone and zero balance the prop.

Enjoy,

Jim
