Gary,
I would have to say that if it is a "Good Machinist" he would have made sure
that it was balanced before handing it back to you.  Before going any
further, I would call him and ask the magic question.

damn.  I had my flywheel lightened by 4 lbs. by local machinist.  good
machinist but It never occured to me to also balance it.  dumb newbie
slip-up.  What would be suggested now?  assume its unbalanced?  remove and
balance?  Or wait?  

I'm assuming it could be unbalanced enough to cause
damage without being "felt" in any way by driving it or by feeling the
engine
while its running.
