Default Balancing a crank/con-rod/ piston???

Out of curiosity, I put a crank from a single cylinder on a balancer. The weight side is much heavier than the con-rod pin side. I put the con-rod and piston on and now the piston side is heavier regardless of the position. Shouldn't the assembly balance in some orientation of piston/ con-rod?
