I'm not going to lock it up until i know its all correct as we dont want another broken d24. thanks again for your reply.

When I have more time this weekend, I will take a look at one of my engines to compare with your photos. I think you are right to be very careful about this. If the alignment is indeed off then serious problems could result.
