Question... Took off the front timing cover, and saw that my cam gear doesn't look like the pics on LS1howto.com... so naturally, I figure I would ask here. In the pics, that's what mine looks like, and in the 2nd picture, is that little indentation the "dot" that I would use to line up the gear and crank sprocket when doing "dot to dot"? Thanks -J 
Edit: So as of 1/24/06 I am looking over the receipts the previous owner gave me, he had the timing chain, gear, gasket, etc. ALL replaced at a Chevy dealer so I would just assume that these are stock parts that just look different by some chance. Also found a receipt for an ENTIRE cooling system replacement, water pump, hoses, etc... All only a couple weeks before I bought the car, at least it's good to know all the stuff wasn't original, heh. It's nice to have these receipts

Well I put the oil pickup tube back on, that was stressful... I got the bolt hand tight with the speedster wrench, not sure how tight it should be, ls1howto says hand tight so I guess that's good. I'll find out when I fire up the car, and if I have to tear it down because of the pinched o-ring (which sat itself on the pickup tube all the way at the bottom just by placing it on), I'll be pissed
