Already did it. I ran the pivot into a hard #8 nut before putting it into
the plate. Red locktite and a "reasonable man" on the wrench (as the
Rolls/Bentley engine manual specifies).

Bill and FoT:
I have a hoist hanging over the engine bay of #197. I hope my results are
the same.
If you should be installing your Alloy Front Engine Plate, I have a tip for
you. When you remove the timing chain pivot, you will notice it is swaged
at the rear.
If you reinstall the pivot, in the Alloy Plate, the threads need to chased
back to original size.
An alternative is to use a countersink style bolt from the backside,
countersinking, prior to installation.
