Hey Jim, I was just checking back to see if I could assist with someone left behind. Maybe it'll help.
You need to have the flywheel weigh the same as the harmonic balancer on the front. The weight should be stamped on it. If not, you'll have to remove it and have it weighed. They are usually 50oz. Your machine shop can mill down the flywheel, or add weights if needed, and then balance it. You shouldn't have any more problems from then on.
Talk with you later....
