Now THAT is some of the best news I've heard in a long time. Well....not that you put it on all wonky or anything, or that you had the ability to do the impossible, but that the fix seems to be easily identifiable and total teardown isn't going to be needed. Hopefully, a simple rotation and bolt back on will be all that is needed to begin fine-tuning.

Howdy....we are getting the engine bolted back in now. Should be about another hour or so until we fire it up Power steering pump just got bolted back up. We are almost done with the bottom....then we go to the top

Then we start the biatch up and hope for the best

Your instincts served you well. You thought there was something odd there. And I was banking on it for that very reason.
