Hi
The web link below has Flat 6 Innovations stating that they "weld and/ or pin every sprocket and drive. Overkill does not exist when I assemble one."

My M96 IMS shaft has the larger sprocket pinned 9 and 3 weld points on the two smaller sprockets. Each weld length is pretty much equal and spaced roughly equally around the sprocket circumferences
What is not clear is whether or not the shaft would need to be balanced after the tig welds are applied.
I intend to use the LN Engineering IMS Solution bearing. Not sure if that would make a difference as to whether the shaft should be balanced after welding or not ?
Your expert advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
