However, my IMS bolts are lining up in the crankshaft HOLES…NOT on the steel part of the crank flange. It is supposed to be a friction fit on the crank flange and MUST NOT be tightened down into the holes. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS? Will is re-seat itself when I re-install the Chain Tensioners?
I have the chain tensioners out at the moment….I am hesitant to turn the crank WITHOUT CHAIN TENSION.
So, the question is - and I have researched my tail off but cannot find an answer:
HOW do I make sure the Crankshaft holes are NOT UNDER the IMS BOLTS? How do I move them to safe ground?

I have to ask, are you using the LN method to install the IMS, or the one Wayne espouses on Pelican with the bolts pushing on the IMS gear?
