Default Is it safe to balance a nitrided crank?

As part of my new build, i am going to send my
crank pully
Crank
Flywheel
Clutch cover
To be balenced together

Would it b an issue as the crank is nitrided?

Its a V9 Nitrided crank btw

The webs are drilled to balance, so there will be no effect on the bearing journals. I assume the crank and flywheel are already balanced as items, so hopefully there will be very little fettling to do as an assembly.

Strictly speaking; you should balance the crankshaft before nitriding or tuftriding.
