I will be sure to do that. I do not want to tear anything up and have to have more machine work done.

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?

If I am unable to locate the tool that you mention, how do you recommend I move forward?
