Show more The Timing Cover Alignment Kit for GM LS series engines is an indispensable tool for mechanics and engine builders alike. This kit is designed specifically for LS series engines including LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LQ4, and LQ9, covering a range of models with engine displacements from 4.8L to 6.2L. Constructed of premium quality billet aluminum and quality steel, the kit offers exceptional durability and precise fitment, ensuring you achieve perfect alignment during installation.
This alignment tool simplifies the challenging task of replacing the front or rear main seal. It is meticulously designed to mimic the balancer, thereby centering the cover on the front seal, which is located on the inner diameter of the seal bore. By allowing you to slip the tool over the front snout of the crankshaft, it aids in properly orienting the seal installed in the front cover, crucial for a leak-free assembly.
Engine builders appreciate the two installation methods provided, which enhance usability and efficiency. Whether you opt to install the new front cover seal directly into the front cover or loosely install it first, this tool helps ascertain that everything aligns perfectly with the oil pan. Its 180-degree dual keyway slots make it adaptable for both single and dual keyway crankshafts, accommodating various engine setups.
With additional features like an enhanced outer diameter for a snug fit in the oil pump opening, this kit minimizes the risk of seal leaks while providing peace of mind during installation. For anyone working on GM LS engines, this timing cover alignment kit is more than just a tool; it's a necessity for achieving excellence in engine assembly.
