^Yup. I would have left the engine at TDC and perhaps reduced the likelihood that this would have happened, but you have to index the crank to put the intermediate shaft in a position where it can be supported by all three 'dowels'.

It would be nice to be able to drop nearly $1,200 USD on both the tools and the ceramic bearing from LN Engineering, but before taxes and duties, that's over $1,500CAD. Tough to justify when the alternative was the $150 Pelican kit, which at the time seemed to be able to be installed without the special tools.

There's nothing online about timing the 3-chain engines, from what I can tell. I'll attempt to pull the valve cover today and see what I can do from that point.
