That is my understanding.
aaah, yes, this is true. Thanks for helping me connect the dots, hehe.

However, at least in my case, enough remains of the 'boss to still use the pin. Regardless; there are other means of finding TDC, and locking the crank, if IMS replacement is desired. But a "fancy-pants" shop may not be willing to work outside-the-box like that. So consideration might be appropriate.
