As for the holder tool, yeah I know of those solutions. When I rebuilt it, I jammed a block of wood in the crank web. Worked ok. I don't want to have to drain the oil and pull the sump just for this. I need to torque it, not break it loose, so using the starter is a no go.
I found the official tool on eBay, and it's not the worst deal I've ever seen:
Land Rover 300Tdi, 200Tdi / Jaguar Crank Locking tool (LRT 12 080) (VS4985) | eBay

other sites sell it for 200$+

It's the right tool number... but it has 4 bolts, v8 pulley only has 2. I suppose this is a multi-model tool. The td5 requires 340 foot lbs (!!) as opposed to the v8's 200. 4 bolts is probably to accommodate that extra torque

Good morning Jeff.
The OEM LGH000060 balancers are pre balanced from the manufacture.
Hope this helps.

IMHO Jeff, your pulley is good for a 1000 mile trek at reasonable speeds towing provided you check the torque on the bolt first.
