re: vibration
Check the harmonic balancer first. Most likely culprit. Excellent discussion re: harmonic balancers in recent Pantera publication. Had that problemo before, and it just gets worse until it gets fixed. Can't even run the car without the harmonic balancer, it'll tear loose the motor if you push it. Not an expensive fix though, for a talented wrench like yourself, Yahoo Buckaroo, You Can Do It! First, though, a little reading up on the subject matter in your favorite publication(s). Yep, you're like Jimi Hendix now: Experienced...wow, gotta paint the Pantera like his guitar, dude! Dig it!
