Damn that sucks man!! You're boy here sounds like he may be onto something though. Reminds me of the 'Tool Man' Tim. 
Get a hot chick to work in your garage for you, then your mechanic buddies will like to be there to help you out. 
Sorry to hear about your car though, that really does suck....

Man, I told you to have a professional do the work. Your always doing crazy **** like that. The instructions clearly say to use a 24mm socket to get the bolt off, it doesn't say anything about drilling a 24mm hole in the crank. I'm assuming thats what you did? How could you possibly get that mixed up. I told you I would help you out if you'd use a little common sense. Its not even safe to be over at your place when your working on a car. That jack you have, the one with the bar that you twist clockwise to jack it up, i can't believe your actually going to hook up an impact wrench to it. Do you realize how fast the car will go up if that actaully works? I'm not flaming you or anything, but your always up to some crazy ****, and your ideas aren't safe. Don't even get me started on jacking up the car from underneath the tire for extra clearance. Another one of your dangerous ideas.
I had a damn good laugh reading that.
PS, where the f--k did you get a 24mm drill bit from?

Get a LOT of FastSteel and mix it up. Stuff it in the hole you made and fill it completely. When it dries, about 24hrs, drill out and retap the hole for the balancer. Then pin the crank the way you are SUPPOSED to do it. I think it's a 6mm hole. Put a short 24mm grade 8 bolt in along with Red Loctight.
That probably won't work, but your totally f***ed anyway, what have you got to lose?
Time for a forged motor.

So, you are saying you had almost a 1" drill bit, and you drilled into your crank that way.
I'm calling B.S. until I see a pic.
24mm = .9448 thats between 15/16th and 1" its a huge hole.

My little ole half inch drive drill won't even begin to turn a bit that big through a crank.
