Every Tech should have this LS Timing cover Alignment Tool!
AlignIt Tools are used to align the Rear Main and Timing Covers and install the seals!
Whether your a Pro or a Do Your Own Repair kind of guy, here is a simple but very effective tool to help you make
easy work of installing your LS1-2-3-6-7-9- LQ4-LQ9- 5.3-6.0 and all GM v8's from 1997-2013 Timing and Rear Main cover and seals. Works with all LS based engines!
Here is a couple simple but very effective tools to help you make easy work of aligning your Timing and Rear Main Covers. CNC Machined to exact tolerances, the AlignIt tools
get the covers centered perfectly with the crank. The O-ring design makes for a perfect snug fit no matter the temperature that can cause expansion/contraction of engine covers, crank & tools
that will hinder a perfect fit. The O ring design eliminates this problem. After the covers are centered and torqued down, use the AlignIt Tools to install the seals in seconds!
Available in the Pro Series 6061 Aluminum Anodized and the standard PVC Plastic. Both are CNC Machined to exact specs from Billet materials.

If you're doing a Rear Main Seal or Engine Build, its a good time to start keeping unfiltered oil out of your bearings and lifters! Check these Billet Oil System Improvement parts out!

Nice product!
I have made a bunch of money the last decade+ repairing oil leaks on other shops head & cam jobs. Seems not many knew about aligning the covers or the oil pump.

The Hub Simulator Tool is for those that do not want to remove the seal.
It simulates using your hub to align the timing cover with the seal in place.

I ordered this kit a year or so and it will pay for itself in no time. Plus it amazes me how many good shops that want to argue that you dont need an alignment tool. Like the gentlemen above said" it's in the instrutions" Nice product guys!

Very nice tool! Having never pulled an LS timing cover assumed the nimrods at gm would have used alignment pins or dowels. Guess they dropped the ball........ Or maybe it's just something else they can sell to us. LIKE DEXOS.

Worth every penny.
The worst part of the front seal is that with the engine in car, you can't really get a good front view of anything because your head is always at an angle to the critical areas.
