Re read what the quote says; if we are doing an IMS retrofit, and have to spend extra time (such as removing the small pulley and installing the factory unit) locking the crank because of a smaller crank pulley and a mangled pin boss, it is going to cost you. We have actually had to remove a transmission to lock the crank from the flywheel end when doing some cam timing work on a car that had the pin boss nearly entirely removed and the crank bolt was rounded off when the small pulley was installed. There was no other reason the trans was pulled as the car already had a retrofit done, but the customer had to shell out a lot of unnecessary $ because of what we needed to do to get the cam timing set. So just watch how much of the pin boss you cut away, and don't bugger up the crank bolt; it could become costly down the road..............
