First, I replaced my gaskets at the TB and tightened all the upper intake bolts but I still get almost no vacum at idle and it sounds like a clacking/ticking comming from right under the elbow. I cant pinpoint it any closer than that. I dont think its valve train noise because that wouldnt explain the vac and it isnt coming from the valve covers. any ideas? I am gonan take it in on tues and have a shop look at it :(

SECONDLY, I just finished changing her oil and I was chekcing my balancer and there is an area of rubber mabye 1/16 of an inch higher than the rest....how long before it comes out enough to cause problems. I only noticed it becuase I ran my finger along the rim and noticed a slight raise. I just need it to hold till aug/sept.....
 
Can't help on the vacuum problem. But, you need a new balancer pronto! It doesn't take too long before the rest of the rubber to come out. I like mine but it might be overkill for you. Depends on what your future plans are.
