Install the seal in the cover, loosely install the cover, fully install the harmonic balancer and then tighten the cover screws down.

This centers the balancer within the seal.

Hope this useful

Thanks Andy, I’ll have to try that next time, it is back together and with 136 miles seems to be fine.

Your reading my mind, last fill up was non-ethanol @ 91 octane close to $3.20 a gallon!
