Mystery solved. I picked up a TDC piston stop tool. Seems the balancer has slipped/is bad.
According to the TDC tool, my balancer reference mark is off by about 11 degrees. Top line is original mark, lower line is correct according the the TDC tool. If I’m not mistaken I’ve been running 10-12 degrees retarded.

No Updates? All you need to do is advance the timing to see if it fixes the problem.
