A gas turbine engine includes a shroud with an abradable section and a non-abradable section that cooperatively define a shroud surface. The gas turbine engine also includes a rotor that is supported for rotation within the shroud to generate an aft axial fluid flow. The rotor includes a blade with a blade tip that is crowned and that opposes the abradable section and the non-abradable section of the shroud surface. A crown area of the blade tip opposes the abradable section. A casing treatment feature is provided in the non-abradable section of the shroud to oppose the blade tip of the rotor.

A rotor has a rotor body having: a flange with a circumferential array of discontiguous apertures; and a surface spaced apart from the flange. One or more rotor balance weight assemblies each have a weight and a fastener. The weight has: a passageway having a first end and a second end; an internal thread along the passageway; and a boss at the first end of the passageway. The boss is in a respective one of the apertures. The fastener has: a shank having a first end and a second end and an external thread engaged to the passageway internal thread; an engagement feature at the shank first end for engagement by a tool to turn the fastener; and a head at the second end contacts the surface.
