yes and no.
yes it can be the problem and no, that's not accurate enough to determine if the balancer is on the money. you need a piston stop to do it "right"
my 2¢ suggestion is (yes) to get a new timing light (anyone who ever works on a motor needs one) and assume for now that the balancer is OK.
