Is the crank-pulley an OEM unit, or one of the aftermarket ones? Most of the lightweight aftermarket ones you see advertised on Ebay and elsewhere don't really dampen the vibrations you get with our fairly-long cranks. Not only can that cause the engine to shake, it can and will put some serious wear on your crank bearing.
You might want to look into getting a good stock pulley/harmonic balancer if yours is shot or a crappy aftermarket unit.
