B20 Centering the timing cover around the crank hub 120-130

Hi Barry;
The method I have used for years is to dismantle my feeler gauge set and insert a 5, 6 and 7 thousands strip. Normally I put the thick one at the top, and the thinner ones at 4 and 8 o'clock. Don't use sealer on the timing cover gasket as it makes it slippery. Then tighten down. Be carefull tightening the pan bolts that go into the cover bottom edge - just enough is all. This has worked well for years, and keeps the felt seal well centered so it works for years as well.
