Sounds like i have some tinkering to do... i get the vibration even at a high idle while in neutral. I will try pushing in the clutch to see if it goes away and then start looking at the other possibilities mentioned. I did notice this morning that the water pump shaft has some play in it at the end the fan is mounted. I’ll remove the fan belt and run it quick to check that as a source. Another thing i failed to mention in the first is that the head gasket is starting to fail. I have a leak just above the serial number on the motor. I tried torquing the head again by loosening a 1/8 turn and tightening again with no luck. New gasket is on its way.
