Balance? Maybe you're referring to counterweights?

the n326 on the front mass is in fact a reverse image of that same number bossed on underside of the dizzy drive cog.

s4, s5 , REW and RE engines use the that same part inside marked n326,, so all front masses s4-s6 will have that mark
and yes the masses are in-fact different in these engines,, so it is NOT the best way to ID them

the front mass is measured / ID by its thickness .. IE the s5 mass is
( of top of my head ) about 23.5 mm tall while the heavier s4 mass is around 26 mm



here is the link to a thread that may help-

correct, in addition the S5 front CW has a 52mm cutout for the thrust washer where the FD S6 is 60mm.

mazdatrix has a FAQ writeup on how to distinguish the rear CWs, though the rears after '86 are very similar and rather difficult to tell apart.
