First of all, once you lock the front pulley at TDC, do not even think about removing the pin and rotating the engine. The correct way to unbolt the TC is to do that BEFORE you lock the engine at TDC, NOT AFTERWARDS. Once the IMS retrofit is complete and the engine is back together, you can install the trans with the TC on it and rotate the engine by hand to get the bolt holes to line up. It is all a matter of sequence.��
