Mcmaster-Carr have bolts and all-thread in 9/16-18 that will suit your needs. A good hardware store will probably have it or be able to order it. When I say good, I don't mean Home Depot or Lowes and the like.

Sorry, should have added that I need an extra long one to be able to install my damper. So, 4 inches or more in length.

Does anyone happen to have a long 9/16-18 bolt they are willing to sell? I am having trouble getting one.

Unless the engine is standing on its end when installing the timing cover, the timing cover itself is heavy enough to make using an alignment tool ineffective. The weight of the timing cover will simply distort the seal and uncenter the seal in regards to the crankshaft snout. As a general rule, if the lower edge of the timing cover is even with the pan rails on the block, you are good to go. Exactley

Never new you had to do anything other than bolt the cover on and tighten it up. Put a lot of them together over the years and never had a front seal leak. Am I just lucky or what?

Isn't the crank snout diameter different on those other engines?
I just align mine by eye. Leave the bolts loose enough that you can move it around, get it even all the way around and tighten it.Seems to me like you should be able to make a shim out of some white oak for this. Get it close, cut the block a bit fat and keep taking a tiny bit off until you can place the block between the cover and crank? Move it around the circle in 4 or 5 places till it's centered and tighten that puppy down?
