Default Powerbond Harmonic Balancer with no drill holes

With all the work involved in replacing the harmonic balancer, I want to be sure the part I received from Summit Racing is correct. I ordered and received the PB1117N. The only concern I have is there are no holes drilled in the facing of it like the pictures of it online. I called Summit and the customer service rep said it was fine. He even reached out to DAYCO while I held and they said the part was balanced without the need for any drilling. He said some require a number of holes and every once in a while they have some that do not require any holes.

Anyone else experience this?

Nope, no holes. I just pulled one off the shelf, and checked. Also checked the Dorman version.....no holes there either.

Since you're familiar, how does the Dorman do? The Powerbond seems to be the go-to, but some Dorman stuff is quite good.
