<< I started to strip down my TR2 engine over the weekend. It was already out
 of the car and bits removed when I bought it. I noticed while refering to
 my workshop manual a reference to the importance of noting the way the fan
 and parts are removed, as they are balanced on assembly and keep the crank
 running smooth. The problem is these parts were removed by the D.P.O. How
 essential is the replacement of the fan and strips behind the bolts in the
 correct order ? , is there any way of telling from the parts.? >>

I've seen some that had a hole drilled thru the assembly after all were
together and balanced. This hole may help you reassemble in the original
configuration. 
If no hole and no idea of the original configuration, well I wouldn't worry
too much about it. Some listers may have some idea how to balance one of these
- I don't, and didn't.
