OK thanks!

I received the rest of my parts and when I was checking out the IMS retrofit kit from LN I have a question about some of the included pieces. In all the videos I have seen with the IMS bearing being replaced the bearing is installed with the installer tool and light taps from a mallet. What are the two hexagonal tools that are threaded inside and the allen bolt used for? I wish I had a picture but hopefully someone knows what I am talking about haha

Also can I time this engine with the 5 chain tool they supplied? Since I know the cams will be timed together via the cam-to-cam chain will holding just one cam and making sure the marks are parallel with the cam cover work? Is this to replace the P253 tool?

Also I have read and/or watched just about every write-up and video on the IMS bearing replacement, but none of them show the use of the Pelican kit (I would imagine because the LN kit is superior and more frequently used). Anyway my car has a dual row bearing, and this kit said it can accommodate both, but how is the new bearing installed with the 2 spacers it came with, and with using the flange from my double row bearing?
