I ended up dropping on a later lotus short engine with a good crank. also a set of original liners, pistons and bearings off ebay. rebuilt engine incorperating  the later modifications where posssible such as a smaller oil way into the head, small hole drilled in the oil pump , latest cam cover gaskets & no gasket in the cam carriers, to name the basics.

However none of this helps Palindrome

I don't remember having any trouble fitting the later tensioner bearing, just had to draw off the crankshaft pulley to allow the tensioner to be withdrawn
