Default Scatter shield alignment

What's involved in aligning a Lakewood bell housing as I see they sell alignment kits. Is the kit really necessary? Thanks.

The believe that the alignment kit is to properly align the bellhousing to the engine. Some of the bellhousings are off a little. This will cause broplem with the input shaft bearings.

Yep! Even the Lakewood's. As I recall, I had to use a pair of .014 offset dowels to get mine lined up.
