Ls3 front cover bolt torque sequence
When reinstalling the front timing cover
using the sac city alignment tool do you tighten the oil pan bolts first or the cover bolts. Ive had a couple people tell me to do the oil pan cover bolts then the horizontal cover bolts. I feel like if you do that though it might want to pull the cover down

Your factory service manual says to tighten the oil pan-to-front cover bolts to 18 lb/ft first followed by front cover bolts at same torque page 6-119.Use your alignment tool J 41476 first before tightening bolts
