You marked the crank with the bearing puller taking it out. ............

Agree.
In the first post, pic#3 shows tit on mandrel and pic#4 appears to show damage from it being driven into flywheel. Also wondering if lifters are interfering with bearing install somehow.


BTW -  there are no depth stops in the bearing bores in the case of my 01 TC and no missing pieces of bearing bores.

Good observation. I would call it a "witness mark" rather than damage.

Agree. You won't hurt the flywheel with that wimpy tool. Just a witness mark, as you say.
