Some advice? Maybe?

I did the checks and adjustments and torqued the bolts, three times.

Vibration went down by 50%. Good ear James, I never heard it.

Its definitely in an acceptable range now. Thanks everybody!

thank you sir just got lucky lol

Is it possible that one of the balance shafts was misaligned during the timing belt install thus creating a slight vibration??

There's always a small vibration - it's an engine after all. And there will be 2 or 3 rpm bands where the vibration will be noticeable. Unless it feels like your legs are getting a massage or the engine is running like a 3 legged donkey it is 'normal'. You will know if a balance shaft is out - it is horrid.

Yes, been there, done that. I know its not the shafts. But this isn't normal either. It wasn't there before.

Anyway, its minimal now.
