It loks like Mike's tip on the FAQ entry above has real possibilities.

I also had an overnight thought that maybe the camshaft timing might have jumped a tooth. (I couldn't tell if your timing checks included the camshaft. Seemed like you were focussed on the balancer.)

By a rough count (using pictures), if the cam sprocket (1 rev = 720° of crank rotation) has something liker 44 teeth, then one tooth would = about 16° of crank rotation—maybe close to what you are off?

Just an early morning notion. Not all synapses snapping yet. If wrong, I sit corrected.
