Have you tried to run the pump, pilot & injector learns..??

Have you done a "leak-off" test on the injectors..??

When was the fuel filter last replaced..??

Firstly.
What are you looking at cylinder balance to determine?
What symptoms or issues are you experiencing?
What results were you expecting?

Secondly, as knobby has said.
What else have you checked?
Any fuel system learns?
Injector leak off test?

Thirdly
Have you changed any parts recently?
