Timing cover installation

Does anyone no where to get the tool to align the timing cover with the crankshaft when insalling it. The manuals show a tool that slips over the crankshaft and aligns it in the seal before tightening the bolts. Or do you guys use some other method. Thanks

Just tap it on straight. When I changed out my I-6 I hap to replace the cover... not too tough.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Feb-02 AT 11:29 AM (EST)]I usually just put the harmonic balacer on then tighten the bolts.
