What should i do now !
Please check the attached photos
Thank you in advance.

I think that happens to more than a few people.
I don't know if it will help, but read through this thread if you haven't already:
IMS Install help! IMS bearing not centered

Be very cautious how you proceed. As Flaps10 implied, you will probably have to release all the tension from your cam chains, recenter the shaft, then reset your cam timing. Trying to force anything or taking short-cuts will probably damage your engine and lead to more problems.

Bump.

Lots of interesting discussion in this thread and I thought it would be worth bumping to the top. I'm looking for a thread where either Jake, Wayne, or Charles said that the Pelican Parts IMS Bearing retrofit was supplied by LN Engineering at Wayne's request for an affordable option. (Basically it's the same as the factory single row bearing, but has an improved bolt and comes with new seals.) I think it cost about $160 when I bought one. $399 now.
