I always replace whatever seals I remover or disturb, unless it's things like intake seals, TB seal, or valve cover seals, *IF* I've replaced them recently.

Thanks I will, I'm working on it for around 6 hrs today so, I should get most of it done. Il post updates. Can't wait to start it up, I know 114lsa won't be to Lopey, but it should sound pretty sweet with the cut out open.

What's the best way to hold the flywheel I already broke two screwdrivers off trying to wedge them in there?
Do you any local auto parts stores carry something That can hold it?

might want to try a pry bar... or a better screw driver lol. There is a flyheel lock tool but I dont think anyone would have that locally as its such a specific part. I've taken mine off with the prybar/screwdriver trick a couple times. just slide it through the flex plate holes and then wedge it on the block

Got cam in, fighting the oil pan to get at the pick up tube for oil pump. Took all the bolts out and it won't come down. Do I need to remove oil filter?
Tomorrow morning I got to see about getting that oil pump off. Then do springs, and get this sucker back together. I fought the balancer bolt half the day today
it really stopped me in my tracks, then the oil pan won't budge. I can just barely get a wrench on the pick up tube bolt but it's not on square so it will round off the bolt of im not careful. Hopefully better luck tomorrow, I'm thinking it won't be done until Monday now unless everything goes super smooth tomorrow.

Progress update. Cam, timing chain, and ported ls6 oil pump on, front cover back on and 3 outa 16 springs changed...... Yes only 3. I dropped a retainer and don't have a spare. So I'm stuck until I get another which I hope is sooner than later.
