Hi,

I have a vibration in my engine. Well, at least I think that is where it's coming from. Anyway, I notice it at around 55 mph or so. It's not a real harsh vibration, it is more like a low smooth vibration if that makes any sense. I have been told that it could be my harmonic balancer. Anyway, it is concerning me that it may be doing some damage somewhere that needs to be taken care of before it I get too serious.
Any help would be appreciated!
Oh yeah, the mileage is on a rebuild.

Thanks and keep motoring!

Hi there,

slacken off all the engine mount & transmission mounts and go for a short drive as this will re seat all the mounts just in case on was in tension. Check the condition of the harmonic balancer, check that it is tight as well, start here.
