yes I had it set at TDC prior to starting this procedure.

I didnt have the cam locking tools though.

Pic attached of my issue

as you can see it is not centered which doesnt allow me to install the cap thing.

is the Flange the part that I keep referring to as the cap? Im not sure I can start threading the 3 bolts if its off-centered?

and where is the third tensioner located?

The crappy thing about all this is that the bearing I pulled out of the car was mint and dont think I even needed to install this new IMS .......... oh well
