Not to divert the topic or anythig, but the harmonic balancer recalls were specific to the later V-6 configurations. The I-6s (as previously posted don't have them (or need them).

Describe the noise and when it's occurring...does the noise occur on idle and disappear when you rev?

I ask this because a worn shock bushing on the belt tensioner can make a clanking noise at idle that sounds like a rod about to go south!
