Blowby vs injector balance

So my om602 in my 91 has blowby. I did put in new injector nozzles but wasn't in a position at the moment to balance them, since the car would be down for at least a couple of days. I have less smoke but still an idle that's not as smooth as it should be. I'm willing to do the balance, but I don't want to do it if my main problem is too much blowby. I know it might seem silly to resist the balancing, but I don't want to spend the time and money if it's a waste, if that makes sense. It's not expensive, but it is a huge hassle to be without the car and then still have it not cure the idle issue. One diesel shop did say it sounded like one injector was nailing for sure.
