Harmonic Balancer 2007 C6 LS2 6.0L

2007 C6 LS2 6.0L with a manual transmission.
The Harmonic Balancer came loose and I obviously did not have it marked with the crankshaft. I have the proceedure to torque it back into place, but how do I determine the correct position rotationally on the crankshaft?

Here are a few tips about the HB:
1) Replace it...do a search on here and you will see why. The HBs are known to fail.
2) No position necessary on the new HB. Just put it on.
3) Replace it

And use a new bolt. The one you have now is shot. You can only torque it one time (torque to yield).

Oil Pressure at Idle

OK, New HB and bolt, but now the oil pressure at idle is around 15 psi. When the RPM comes up, so does the pressure to around 50 psi, but what does the HB have to do with the oil pump?

if all you have done is replace hb then oil pressure should not have been affected.did you do anything else at same time?

Did you put the little seal back on the end of the HB?

Is that much different than what you remember before you swapped the balancer? GM does say it could get that low depending upon the temperature outside and how long it may be idling.
