question about flywheel balance

if i stripped a bolt hole on a flywheel, and i drilled and tapped it for bigger bolt, would it throw the engine off balance, like rotational wise?

I'll bring your flywheel to you at the race tomorrow. Sounds like you'll still be able to use it.

i dont need it, i was thinking if you wanted to try and reuse it, it was for the 81 motor, and ive got and 84 or 85 motor. i cant use it, and i dont really even have a need for it, but if you dont want it, i can throw it away for you. lol
