I thought I would update this for future reference for those who might need to do this somewhere down the line. I ended up tearing down the block, and taking it down to the machine shop. I had started the process of putting the Time sert in by renting a mag drill to get the hole in straight. I did the counter sink, and tapping, then had the machine shop finish the installation of the insert since I did not like the way it seemed to be going in. They actually said my work was good, and popped it right in. They did hone it with a plate, but not because there was a fear that the cylinders were out of round, but because the prior machine shop had burnished the cylinder walls badly. Just for that fact alone, I'm glad I took it to them. I have added a picture of the insert, plus one of it installed for those who are curious.
