well your right on with just using the feeler guages but I am mainly interested in the rear cover seal installation tool that comes with the kit, Its supposed to keep the lips on the seal from folding under while you install it. I just dont want to screw it up this is my first LS Build.
What about the newer style rear cover seal I heard its supposed to be a better design that you dont have to use the tool to install???
