Have you owned this car since new? If not, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PULL THE BALANCER AND ENSURE THAT IT IS KEYED CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that the balancer is not flush with the end of the crankshaft snout is even more evidence that it is not pinned correctly.

If it is NOT pinned correctly, the results can be destruction of the crankshaft snout. The only remedy at that point is crankshaft replacement. You don't want to go there!

Proceed cautiously,
