Was Balancing Question...now some other questions, Questions are last post, hilfe bitte. Options

OK, I have a tendency to move faster than I think, amazing I got this far in life. I was reading the assembly procedures for the clutch and clutch pressure plate, as I read it talked about marking the position of the pressure plate in relation to the flywheel in order to maintain the balance. DAMNIT! Yup you guessed it I didn't do that. Primarily because I haven't had to do it with the standard block engines I have worked on before.

So, is there a way to remedy this mistake or am I just kinda hosed and, how much of a difference will it make since the rest of the motor was balanced?

No, "0" that I can find. Next question, non-balance question. Build sequence.

So, I had the guys at Boxter do the endplay. Long story short, they only put one shim in not three so I plan on re-checking when my dial gauge comes in.

Now, what can I do in the mean time? Can I assemble the pistons and cylinders and oil pump while I wait, more specifically, Haynes says pop in the cam followers before piston and cylinder assembly. Is it ok if I pop in the cam followers later?

Final question, how tight should the nut on the oil strainer assembly be? I can't find any torque settings and my books only say, "don't overtighten." Could use some help on this one. Reading my type IV book it says I can pretty much do everything prior to checking endplay and have the motor almost completely assembled.
