Default follow up to horrible vibration problem

For those of you who were kind enough to help me out with my problem and for those who may have the same problem, this is the answer to my HORRIBLE vibration problem... I have a 93 lx 5.0 and right after i put in my new aluminum radiator i had a bad vibration. It gradually got so worse that i couldnt drive it anymore. I checked so many things including my harmonic balance even though it was brand new. But i decided to take it off for the hell of it (the balancer that is) and sure enough there was the problem. the little groove for the spline on the crankshaft that the balancer sits on was completely worn on the inside of the balancer. There was no idication of any groove whatsoever because it got loose somehow and just wore it away and also crack the balancer. Because of that, the bolt for the balancer that connects to the crankshaft worn and had metal shavings all over it! So that was my problem, i just hope they make a heli coil big enough for that huge bolt cause i doubt i will ever find one usuable considering its been discontinued for some time now, but in any event, i hope this is some insight for someone and i also want to say "THANK YOU SO MUCH" again for all the help from everybody and watch out cause ill be back on the road!!!!!
