I have 2 engines that have counterbalanced cranks and they do not seem to have definite vibration ranges like some of the other posts indicated. I cannot think this through to see where the harmonic balancer would help. Anyone have any thoughts?

You do not feel torsional vibration. The advantage of a front damper will normally only be noticed by longer bearing life.
