Default Crank pulley problems

I dont know if this is the right place for this thread but I need's ome help. I just recently found out that my crank pulley is wobbling. I have heard that my motor could be screwed but I am not sure about it. Has anyone ever had this problem and does anybody know what causes this to happen? My car just hit 14k miles so I dunno what to expect.
Thanks, brett

It depends on how bad the balancer got, it might just need the balancer, crank bolt and a belt. But it could be worse, It can take out the steering rack, idler pulleys if it fails completely. Get it checked out soon

Alright thanks. Once I found out what it was, I haven't moved it so hopefully it is not too bad.

can go with a underdrive pulley while you're at it. and a 2 piece front cover for when you're ready to swap the cam, it'll be much easier
it'll pay for itself in time/labour
