Can you see the marks on the balancer to set timing? I hope you don't have conflicts.
Chas,

The thermostat (and all of the lines) are in front of the cross brace in the car. The balancer, timing tab, and the area you need to get at to turn the balancer is behind the cross brace so there is no interference. On a happy note, I have a hydraualic roller camshaft in my car so I don't adjust valves very much .
