The special tools in this procedure are used to properly align the engine front cover at the oil pan surface and to center the crankshaft front oil
seal.
-
All gasket surfaces should be free of oil or other foreign material during assembly.
The crankshaft front oil seal MUST be centered in relation to the crankshaft.
