I don't use either pin to time the engine. There are better ways to find TDC than the cam pin and unless all you want is stock timing with a stock IP the pin is useless. I use a barring tool to position the engine at TDC after I have broken the IP nut loose and popped the gear off. Then I use this to rotate the IP to the desired setting.

Remove the tool, clean the shaft and gear completely, install the nut & washer, tq and to 144. In my opinion over torquing any bolt or nut is foolish.
