I used the oil pan mating surface to line up the cover. I haope that this is good enough. DAMN IT! Do I need to take this apart? I am definetly lined up top to bottombut what are the chances that I am off left to right?

I would think that you could just loosen the cover bolts and it would center itself on the balancer unless the sealer that you used prevents it from moving. I asked in another thread what the white sealant that GM uses in those two spots is. It look like pipe thread sealer, but I don't know if that is really what it is. Whatever it is, it doesn't have the adhesive properties of the silicone RTV sealer and wouldn't prevent the cover from moving. In any case, don't go by what I said, because I'm just repeating what I read. Find out from someone that knows. It does seem to make sense that the method I described would allow the seal to put even pressure arond the balancer.

Smack the socket lightly with a small sledge hammer to get the pilot bearing positioned right. Then, go to town and smack its *** flush with the crank.

To Rick and Dragon,
OK, I am alittel slow on this.
This was an assembled shortblock from SLP.
Could someone please show me a pic of this pilot bearing? Does it slip over the input shaft for the tranny?
Here is a picture of the back of the motor.
Is what you are talking about visible here?

98Z28CobraKiller - You are referring to the LS6 coolant lines. You need these so the LS6 or FAST intake can seat properly. You can buy them from a GM dealer.

I still (I had the LS6 valley cover on my LS1 H/C motor) get a lot of oil in the pcv system so have added a paper filter (simply got one from the autoparts store for <I recall> fuel filter) to the pcv system between the nipple you are talking about and the TB.
Works nicely. In fact I probably need to replace it soon as it is getting dirty (clear filter housing with paper filter inside).

They came like this. I bought the shortbolck assembled and the matching heads and cam all from SLP. It is all "supposed to be" designed to work together flawlessly.

OK. So that answers one of my questions. Now, where is the other relocated sensor? I believe that it is a knock sensor that is located somewhere different as there is no knock sensor in the valley cover any longer. I just can't seem to find a spot for it.
