Well...Here's the findings, and remedies of my pilot issue...
Turns out the "culprit" was the shank of the front coupler that was just barely sitting on the frame, not allowing the pilot to sit squarely on the frame. Stupid shank....
I cut off the offending portion and re-seated the pilot and that fixed it....I also re-routed the wires from the front light so they wouldn't interfere with the boiler's sitting fully on the frame.
The only "down" side to the fix was the need to replace the ladder handrails as they were now just a bit short. Having done that, she now is even MORE beautiful...
Case closed....
