Without the pins, the seals don’t align properly and they leak. Summit Racing’s Pro LS Cover Alignment Tool centers the seal openings in the covers with the centerline of the crankshaft to guarantee that the seals stay aligned during installation to prevent leaks. The tool makes it easier to install the seals too!
