IMS question!!

[rbayer]

no doubt ive put myself in a sticky situation. i had the engine in TDC but the top allen screw didn't line up and i had the choice of removing the pin and continuing the set screw method or something else. you can imagine i was dumb enough to continue. if i turn the engine with the flange off is this bad? the shaft is off center from the flange, as you can imagine the tensioners are still in effect.

Edit: I have NOT turned the engine as i have determined that would be bad. i tightened the center bolt back on and have put the flange back re-aligning it all without turning anything. I think im going to go back to TDC and lock the cams from there and pull the flange back off and do the ims change. From there im just curious how i would check the timing, would i just rotate the engine 360 degrees and make sure the exhaust cams are vertical and stright?
