balancer slipping is rare but does happen. As said it wouldn't hurt to get the cheap piston stop tool and check if the dampener slit is at TDC when the piston is at TDC but to keep it simple sam I would start with, are you looking at the right "mark" some of the aftermarket combos of dots/ovals/triangles/squares are confusing as they can be very similar & the ones closest to the keyway are to tell you which slot to use and the ones up by the teeth are the actual "dot" to use to get to "dot to dot". that cam has a 110 LSA and a 106 ICL. And 103 is 3 degrees advanced from 106. With more thought right now I think I would set the dampener at 10 before then hand bump the slot forward to TDC then see where the dots are at & get back to us. another thought, with the dots where they are at, are you then installing the t cover & dampener?

You don't degree the cam with the balancer.
Verify TDC with a positive stop.
TDC verification should have been done when the engine was assembled and correct at that point if it was wrong. That is the job of the assembler.
I've seen many balances have the outer turn on the inner hub. It's not rare and all brands of engines suffer from it when using and OE or OE type damper.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Cam timing is not done with timing marks on the damper. It's done with degree wheels and dial indicators. Damper to timing tab TDC is a basic check when assembling an engine. "Eyeballing" any of it won't work.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

balancer slipping is rare but does happen. consider yourself lucky. i see it all the time. occasionally on new ones, even. always check.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
