Yes. It is at TDC, locked and double-checked. Chain tensioners are OUT.

I AM following LNE's instructions (since I am using their ceramic bearing IMS), not using Pelican's instructions. Not trying to stabilize.

I understood that, when the IMS flange is tightened down AFTER installing the bearing they are a "friction fit" against the crankshaft flange. These are the actual LNE Bearing flange nuts here, of which there are 3. Well, 2 of the 3 are lined up with the crankshaft 'cutout' holes.

I seem to remember seeing them being tightened AGAINST THE CRANK FLANGE using 7.5 Ft.Lbs. of torque.
