1992 LX Has the Shivers at idle

But after it was all together And I realized I over tightened everything, and it was howling real loud, supercharger whine.
I just loosened that adjuster bolt up and turn the crank slightly and retightened. Without being able to see anything, covers on.
The whining went away, but I had the strangest feeling the balancer belt is really loose. I’m only guessing and I don’t know if it would cause that issue.

Yeah, if the balance-shaft belt is loose enough to skip teeth, it's the skipping teeth that causes the balance shafts to be out of synch which in turn causes the vibration. That's not real damage as long as the camshaft timing is OK.
Make sure the camshaft timing belt isn't loose enough to skip a tooth. That'll damage the engine, where the balancer skipping will simply cause vibration. You can take the upper timing cover off without disturbing the tension of the timing belts. Some people like to do the adjustment while the upper cover is off so they can actually see what's happening.

Video Time!!!!
I ran outside and figured I would film my engine. It isn't the motor running rough, I don't think. Is this too much movement?
First 5 seconds is at idle, in Park.......Seems bouncy in Park?
Then I power braked it in Drive, then Reverse, Then Drive again. Is this bad mounts causing my vibration? Or is this normal movement?
Just as a reminder though, when I do hit the gas and pull out it is very smooth.

I wasn’t sure how much movement it should have. But it in the first five seconds if you really notice when it’s sitting in park, the engine seems to be wobbling around.
I know there’s a mount directly behind the engine, I don’t know if that’s which one you mean. And then there’s one in directly in front of the engine near radiator like a big dog bone..
And then there’s one near the timing cover. The one in the rear that you’re speaking of is it right of the center of the engine behind it?

I wasnt sure sure if mine had the vacuum style mount or not. Still learning this car. I’ll see if I can reach or see it. Can either of those cause a vibration at idle?
