Huh??? Don't understand this. Prop balancing is done completely independent of the engine. At least it has always been done that way where I come from. Have I been missing something?
I recommend a complete overhaul of the prop to bring it back up to factory specs before engine run-in. This assures any adverse vibrations will be coming from the engine during run-in. Besides, the prop is probably almost as old as the plane and to put an old unbalanced prop on a new engine doesn't seem the wise thing to do.
