First let me apologize to slopoke17 for hijacking your thread... didn't think it would be so involved 
And thanks to all of you for your help! Just some more background. I took a picture of the balancers so every one else following this thread has a clear idea of what's going on:
You can see the balance wheight as the white dot in the stock balancer on the left. It's a small "slug" pressed into the outer ring at about 12 o'clock in the photo. The balancer on the right is my new Powerbond 10% UD. As you can see, there is not much room to drill a hole in the outer ring of the Powerbond pulley, and a hole any more than about 1/8 inch deep will break into the grooves for the serpentine belt (probably not good for the belt)
At this point, I think I'm going to proceed with installing the PB balancer "as is".
Thanks again.
Paul

Can you show in the pic where to paint the line?
Then examine the white line. If it isnt still lined up,,,your ballancer is TOAST. Sounds like you outer ring is no longer bonded to the hub
