Just so you understand that there is a possibility that you may break the crank if you continue to run it with the balancer out of phase.

Many balancers have slipped and the engines are still running.
How about the outer ring on the balancer is neutal balanced with a mark for the timing. So if it slips it changes the timing mark position not the balance.
