can you not back off the cap nuts untill the crank will turn enough to line up the marks.

Turn the engine until the marks on the crank gear ,the camshaft gear and the inj. pump gear all are towards the center idler gear. remove the idler gear and turn it until it will go on with the marks lined up. Because the center Idler is not an even ratio with any of the other gears it will take forever to turn the engine until they all line up! I guess they probably eventually would though.

Yep. As long as the marks are aligned at the same time when you put it back together you're good. I tried to turn it a bit to install the valve cam after cranking it to prime the oil pump. Gave up after about 20 revolutions and removed the idler. That's how the Z750 on my L175 works anyway, as well as the other engines in my book.
