got the crank ground down
turns out it was a tight fit, but i actually could use the dremel pretty well. a dremel seems to be easier to control in tight spaces than an angle grinder.
anyway it took a while; took me an hour and a half or so to get the raised part ground down all the way around. here are the pics, i left them large so you could see detail better:

I think it looks/feels much better than what I had before. Fingers crossed!
The play-dough did a pretty good job of keeping the tiny metal shavings out. You just have to watch it in the garage because after a few days it will harden and crack.
I haven't installed the timing set yet. Needless to say I'm nervous. Wish I could do it right now but I'm exhausted. I will be glad when it's Friday...

got it!!!!
FINALLY got this thing in. After grinding it down, it cleared a LOT better.
I'll be honest though, it was still really difficult to install. I was at it for another 2 1/2 hours. Had to turn the crank sprocket some and that seemed to help.

Torqued the three cam bolts to 26 ft lbs and the only thing I was concerned about was the little cam pin. I thought it would potrude farther, but I think this is as far as it goes. It felt like it was installed properly so hopefully the engine doesn't blow up!
Thanks again guys, I could not have done this without your pics and info.
Next up, oil pump.
