OK, time to get the front of the engine back together. First, install the timing chain cover with new gasket. Oiled up the chain and gear first...

Here is the gasket -- it only goes on 1 way:

Cover cleaned and prepped:

New Balancer seal:

Cleaning the block in prep for timing cover:

Ready to go!:

Seal in,, cover gasket held in with timing cover bolts:

Special tool to install the cover so the balancer fits (SacCity now has these! https://www.saccitycorvette.com/AlignItTools.html):

Ready to bolt up and hold the cover. The cover is just on and not tight yet (torque to 18 ft. lbs):

All done! Battery tray bolted back up and the connector for the sensor is re-connected:

Ready for the next round!
