Well I figured out why my galant was vibrating at idle. Dan thought maybe the balance shafts were out of alignment. Well it turns out they were completely out. There's not a single tooth on the belt. That's right boys and girls, its smooth. Apparently when the timing belt was done they must have not thought the other was to important. Now we all know what happends to a FACTORY balance shaft belt after 125k miles.

That's part of the plan. Corey and I pulled the head, rods, and pistons last night. The cylinder walls look like new. If I didn't know better I'd say the engine only had 30k on it. I'll let you guys know if I find anything else that's strange.
