I did the same thing when putting my rockers back on. Luckily i didnt turn it over, or even torque the rockers down yet. Once i hand tightened all the rockers i took a quick break and went to get my valve-covers. guess what was sitting inside them.

This thread is depressing. Best of luck man, you'll love it more when you have fresh parts in there and will appreciate it more when you've spent the extra time on it.

I couldn't... on a C5 you can't really get a wrench on the balancer, and I could only turn it using my hand when the rockers were off. On my old SS it was never a big deal but this stupid thing has the steering rack in the way.
