Are you sure it's not the other way around?  Most of the kits are
designed for external balance and you pay more for internal balance
because they must insert slungs of expensive mallory metal into the
crank throws.

That's surprising, as well.  Have you tried:

You need a flywheel and balancer with zero balance.
