Grant, thanks for assist. Embarrassingly I did not have the crankshaft pulley at TDC, wrong hole. It was at the end of a hard day(for me) of wrenching. At TDC the short lock plate for the 5 chain cam fitted perfectly. I hope this means my cam deviation is close to good, did not run the durametric before removing the transmission.
I pulled the 2001 dual row bearing and it is in perfect shape BUT i found a teaspoon of mangled spring-looking metal in the caught in the metal strainer of the oil sump. Not even a speck speck lying on the bottom of the cover though.
I will start a new thread with pics to see if someone recognizes the metal bits.
