There is an assembly tool that holds the IP timer sprocket in place when the IP is off but the tool attaches to the front cover. Come to think of it, how did you get the chain in place without tension in the IP timer sprocket?

By any chance do you have a part number handy for that tool? I will see if I have a photo to show you how I received the engine back from the machine shop. Actually, I think that there are some in my original post thread.
I think that you are right about the 15 degrees. The timing device is currently just sitting on the chain sprockets. They used baling wire to hold it in place when I went to pick it up. I may have to try and hunt down that tool that you mention.
