I see you removed both covers and the pan at the same time.

Wondering if i should remove and reinstall my front and rear covers while leaving the pan untouched. THEN do the pan last. Thoughts?
It's really a crap shoot. I've seen so many different ways that guys swear by. Like I said, I wouldn't take anything I said as gospel cuz I've failed at keeping leaks at bay so far lol. But the way I outlined above is following the book step by step, so that's probably what I'd stick to. Take everything off, do the alignment process with the rear/front covers first and then do the oil pan.

Ok no worries. Decided to take everything off. Trying to not make a mess.

Does anyone know if the flexplate bolts are reusable? I see no mention of it in Chiltons.
