What do you think is causing it?

The only two things I can think of are as follows:

1. When I was reinstalling the balancer, it seemed to stop about an 1/16th-1/8th of an inch farther out than when I took it off. You can see it when looking at the pullies, the crank pulley sticks out just a tad farther than the other pulleys. What do you think is causing it to stop short?

2. When I put the new timing chain on, it was a pretty tight fit. Is it possible that the crank sprocket wasn't put on far enough to be perfectly in line with the cam sprocket? Would this cause the vibration? If this is the case would it line itself up as the chain stretches?

I'd like to hear your input on this. I don't really want to ruin my engine.
