So I realized I never wrapped this post up...

I did get my harmonic balancer off. I had to take a torch to the welds, and they all popped away. The problem I then had was that the balancer pulled either a sleeve or the hardened metal layer off of the crankshaft, meaning my replacement balancer would not fit on it.

So after repairing my timing gear, sleeving and keying the crankshaft, and installing another harmonic balancer, the car drove great for a week. It then broke down on a drive, I had to leave it in a turnout for a couple of days, and when I came back it was gone. Apparently somebody didn't like the car there, so they pushed it off the cliff I was near, ending that cars' story.

So be careful torching welds, and if you're harmonic is welded on be ready for alot of work
