Hey guys I got the car running finally with everything assembled I was struggling for a bit with timing but turns out my balancer is off about 30 degrees, would that cause the motor to shakes pretty aggressively?

It also started surging but I think that may be since it’s currently open LT headers and the o2 sensors are getting bad readings. I need to get a new balancer and get the timing right it’s currently at an unknown timing and drives pretty bad might’ve heard some pinging?! Not to sure if that’s what i heard since I’ve never actually heard it before.

How do yall think it sounds?! I know some people can tell if something is off by ear and any input would be helpful!

Do not run that motor any more before you get a new balancer on it.
