I installed my balancer today and the timing mark @0 degrees doesn't line up with the pointer. Piston is at exactly tdc and balancer marks look about 10 degrees retarted.

I lined up my stock one with the keyway and it pretty much dead on with the pointer.

Its a Pro Race brand, I think the same company that makes Pioneer in Australia.

Could the timing marks be miss stamped?

if it is for a bbf,and the keyway is not lined up with the tdc 0 mark theres something wrong with it,or it is indexed wrong,which also means something is wrong with it anyway.

we run the stock ones 7200 rpm 6500 pretty reg

id get hold of the guy you bought it from

The ATI is a fluid damper? I ask bc I've heard they are not so great on the BBF.

I'm running a professional products steel version on my 521 and worked greAt. I'm pulling it off to replace my timing cover and will be putting on a fancy one lol... if you want I can sell you my used professional. Products one for a good price to help you out. Let me know... not like I'm going to need it anymore.
