Wont stop vibrating
A couple days ago my car devloped a miss and was shaking real bad so im like ok I can deal with this so I pulled the plugs and they were kinda fouled and they were cold plugs cr43ts so i put in cr45ts and that didnt fix it it was still shaking bad so i ohmed all the wire and the turned out fine but it was running better but still shaking so i looked for vacuum leak and the was one at the base of the card and I repaced the gasket and the leak went away but the shaking didnt what else could it be I dont think its the timing but iI cant relly check that because the guy I bought my motor from just pulled a balancer out of a big pile and it was the wrong one and the timing mark is of could this be the problem but it ran fine with that balancer for a while at least through break in but im out of ideas and Im stumped

If everything is new from the rotor to the #3 plug, you are going to have to do a compression test. Do a search of "compression test" for how to do this.
