I got a bit of a vibration at idle, and my, and a few peoples' best guess was that it would be the harmonic ballancer. How hard is it to get at and replace with this car? What would i have to do to get at it?

4.6 dohc engines are internally balanced. there is no harmonic balancer.

ahha, i kinda had a feelin that it was that way. Could the internals become imbalanced?
 
I thought the 'harmonic balancer' was a weapon augmentation from Deus Ex.

;)
 
Don't rule out the radiator fan. My 97 runs smooth as silk till it comes on then I notice a slight vibration. Also, what about the motor mounts? I hear they are liquid filled and prone to problems. Just a guess about the mounts but worth looking into.
