timing off on balance shaft

[streetraceboi]

how will your car run if your timing is off on the balance shaft? will it mess up the motor? its off a tooth or two. will my car idle funny or not pull?? is that why my car is running funny???? or was running funny....not running now.....on jackstands

Most cars with mistimed balance shafts will vibrate, or shake, due to the imbalance caused by the balance shafts being out of phase with the rest of the engine.

I would also check to make sure the oil pump is not 180 degrees out.

if it is already on jackstands, I would just remove the balance shafts while I was checking the oil pump, then you don't have to worry about the timing being off.
