if the flange does not fit flush with the engine case, DO NOT try to pull int down to the case with the bolts. If you do you stand a good chance of cracking the engine case (AMHIK). If you put tension on the case by trying to pull the flange in and it hits the bearing first, it pulls thru the bolt holes and cracks the case. Then you will need to replace your case. I found that out the hard way. If you are tightening it up and hear. hear a metallic CLINK that sound is your case cracking at one of the bolt holes.

whoa! I mean I don’t think it took that much force. It’s slightly off. I was able to get the flange on and flush with the case. But I don’t like it. I’ve removed the bolts and I’m going to remove the flange to see if the IMS shaft stays centered. Chains must be slightly pulling the shaft a bit. So still some tension even without tensioners.
