Maybe this is normal, but I was not around when this car was new. In 2005 the motor was completely rebuilt with new pistons, cam and crank, etc. A .60 overbore was performed and the engine was magnafluxed and balanced at that time. The flywheel was also resurfaced and manual transmission was rebuilt and reinstalled. Yes the motor mounts and transmission mount were replaced as well. I did not rebult the harmonic balancer. Is there anyone out there in Straight Eight land that has had similar experiences or possibly knows of a solution? I read in the shop manual how to balance the flywheel, but can this be done while it is installed?? On the other hand, the engine runs "smooth" and sounds quite, has great acceleration, and is reliable for a 55 year old car. Thanks for the help.
