This is a continuation of a previous gripe regarding the same problem but an additional fix that needs to be checked. If the timing belt is changed, the balance shaft belt should be changed as well. The oil pump shaft needs to be checked for it's alignment. On this car the balance shaft was one tooth off. This can be remedied if the mechanic double checks the alignment after tension is reapplied on the belts.
The biggest source of the vibration was the oil pump shaft alignment. It was 90 degrees out! Some unknown mechanic really goofed big time! This would be low volume, in-his-face, rip him to shreds! Then, up the line and repeat to each supervisor. Until one gets high enough to threaten with small claims court and suggest their intangible asset, Good Will, is severely damaged. As a going concern, they may not survive in an economic downturn!
