Ok, so I asked a lot of people this question and I am not sure I got the right answers. I guess I might just be worried. I did a head swap (changed the balancer at the same time) and 2 days later, the car started vibrating like crazy after a few burn outs. It drove perfect for those 2 days before hand. It vibrates with higher rpm, no matter whether its in gear or not, moving or not, all variations. A lot of people say I threw a weight from my flywheel or I that maybe bent it when I did the burn out. At idle, it barely vibrates, but when I rev it up to over 3K it vibrates like crazy. I can drive it, but only in the 2k rpm range. I just parked it for now. I drove it like that to get home and probably went 15 miles. Do you think it's the flywheel? Did I damage something else in the engine? I replaced the clutch probably 40k miles ago. Should I not drive it at all like this?

Not the expert here but you saying you changed the HB and it vibrates at higher rpms throws up a red flag>

Definately check the harmonic balancer. Start the car up and let it idle and look at the HB, if it is wobbling or anything than turning true than that is your problem. Did you buy a good HB or is it just a stock replacement.

The hb is a solid professional products. Probably not the best one in the world, but I'm not sure that it would go bad in less than 150 miles. Maybe I could be wrong though...

First of all, SWEET CAR! Second, you never know, its easy to check and will at least rule it out if its not the problem.

Thanks! Is that your car in your pic? If so, that's hella sweet too. I'll check out the hb again and go from there.

I know this is off topic and not helping your problem any but could you post of some pics of your car. I think I have seen it awhile back but I didn't save them, I want to see it again.

here's a few




As far as the vibration, I think I've narrowed it down to the flywheel, or clutch assembly. I'm just gonna replace the whole clutch/flywheel stuff since I was going to anyway and go from there.
