I go to car-parts.com and you can go to any other used car parts site. They will give you the compatible years. I think the 91 to 94 were the same. Be careful to check that it has the correct number of pulleys on it. Nothing wrong with a used balancer. Note: before you apply any balancer make sure that the tick marks for the timing are clean and I would highlight them with a touch of paint in the grooves with white paint. Makes timing the vehicle that much easier.

Suggested Repair
Check used-parts sites for compatible years; 1991-1994 Civic balancers are likely the same. Confirm the pulley count matches. A used balancer is acceptable if the timing tick marks are clean and highlighted with white paint before installation.
Conversation Summary
The owner asked whether any harmonic balancer other than the exact 1994 Honda Civic DX part is compatible. The expert said used-parts sites list compatible years and believed 1991-1994 units are the same, but the pulley count must be checked. A used balancer is fine if the timing marks are cleaned and painted white for easier timing.
