What's the damage caused by driven with no harmonic balancer
Recently I waz driven n I guess tha harmonic balancer came loose n fell off while I waz driving as well as tha timing belt n tha car just dropped rpms n shut off, I got it home n re did tha timing n made sure everything waz tight bt now when I try n start it sounds like a hi pitched humming, what kind of damage could occur when somethin like this happens
Does the engine crank when you try to start it?
Since your timing belt fell off, you could have smacked valved with pistons.

Do a compression check and double check your timing belt to make sure you have it on right.
If not, sounds like you need to pull the head and inspect the valves for damage.

you probably didnt install the crank pulley on correctly.
redo it. check the butterfly washers and everything else.
honestly ive never heard of the crank pulley just falling off...

I l pull it back apart to figure out what's wrong with it n hopefully everything inside is ok but I checked n it seems like tha timing is perfect, would somethin like that cause any damage to the lower block I am not worried about tha head I gt am extra 1 to change it oh with but I don't wanna pay to get it machined n put it on n I am still in tha same spot
You have at least some bent valves, maybe some cracked valve guides. It's unlikely that the pistons got damaged.
By loosing the t-belt you had the same effect as if the belt broke. If you're sure your timing is correct and it won't start there is no question why.
You can either swap the engine or pull the head and have a machine shop change all the bent parts and resurface it. Or you can buy another head. If you fix it you're looking at about $350 with repair, new gaskets, etc

Yea I know stupid mistake on my part n tha only reason I am tryin to figure out what could have happened is cuz I did a fresh rebuild on it n it had only like 1000 miles bu now I am payin for not payin more attention to it
Mine has. That's what you get for installing a motor while slightly intoxicated. Lol. Sheared the "key" as well!
