When i did my cam swap we set the front cover in place then put the dampner on and used that to center the front cover and then the pan we just leveled with the block.

Rear cover was never removed, only front and pan. Engine only has 30k on it so there was no need to remove rear.

the rear cover sucks cause to use the tool the seal has to be out. The rear just let the seal center it then use a straightedge to get it level with the pan rail.
The front you can do the same by leaving the cover loose and installing the dampner, then again just level to pan rail. The tool will work on the front with a seal cause it uses the blocks on the cover.

Is there another way to do it? I usually have access to these but no more

[1BADAIR]

So I assume you need a crank holder also?

[Formula Z]

Both lol

[1BADAIR]

Cover to pan rail or cover to crank?



Yes

[Formula Z]

Anyone have access to the kent moore alignment tools for the front cover and oilpan that I can borrow???

Mike, make your own pump setup. it is easy and I can help you with that. Call me and I can help. I am running 60# Siemens and twin in tank pumps on my car in a fourth gen tank. Easy peasy! I ran -6 feed and return lines, kinda wish I would have went -8. But it will work for now. it's some line and a few fittings if I want to change.

Haha, you've asked me that before.

I don't think I have a socket of any sort that big (maybe 54mm) but I don't work on heavy equipment

[1BADAIR]

can i borrow a 60mm impact socket?

If you West side guys need an LSx tool (or any other tool) just ask. Crank pulley puller, power steering pulley remover/install, 320 grit ball Flex-Hone, spring compressor, etc. Don't have a pushrod length tool yet, but that can be done mathematically 20 ton press in the corner!

[1BADAIR]

lol now that you said that you will never have it. Everyone else will. I might get rid of mine and get the LSM tool since the crane wont work on all heads

[kammi10]

You could have borrowed my Crane Cam ls spring compressor

this is great knowledge to have.

now i know where to go
