2. When I turn the crank and get cylinder 1 to the top and crank marks matching for TDC, the locking pin in the tear drop hole in the crank is not going in. Am I missing something? I tried all the three holes, no luck. Before you ask how I know cylinder/piston 1 is at the top; I have taken out all the spark plugs and put in an endoscope in cylinder 1 where I can see the piston coming all the way up and the TDC marks on crank matches with the mark on case. I should be at TDC, correct?
Just want to make sure before I lock the crank on the rear with a plate, lock cams and try to pull the IMS flange.

1. The third tensioner is located on the top of the engine at the opposite side, just behind the AC compressor.
2. Looks like you got TDC. a 8mm pin should go thru the hole with no issue.
