LOL With the description you gave, on the condition of the harmonic balancer; I’d say you’ve found your noise. These year's of 3.8's were well known for this problem; or at least I've had to replace a number of them. Like you said, you know it’s a problem on its own; so why not replace it now and try running the engine? It’s not much of a job and if it is the cause of the noise; then you’re done; all fixed. Dan.
