I have the bolts in and at the initial 19ft lbs (not yet the 120 degrees), and it seems flat, but how to know for sure that post is in the hole ?

Blackroot,
If I remember correctly the bolt pattern on the crank only allows you to install the flywheel on two positions (180 degrees apart).
To torque them you can become creative and use a metal strap between the flywheel and the engine housing bolts.

However, you should check that the crank position sensor reads the correct space on the flywheel, otherwise your firing order will be 180 degrees off...
