Do not put the oil pan bolts in first. They go last. Hopefully with new gaskets you also replaced the front seal in the cover. Clean and polish the snout on the damper and put some oil on it and the new seal. Put the front bolts in the cover very loose. Now install the damper. This locates the seal in the cover to the damper and helps prevent leaks. Torque the cover bolts and then install the oil pan bolts and torque.

Thanks, I knew there were two angles to the cover that needed to be addressed, but what I didn't know is that the center of the seal in the cover needed to be centered to the location of the balancer. Thanks, you just saved me having to do this twice! I do have the new seal ready to go.
