Hey thanks for the heads up! I will take my time and will make sure not to over torque anything.

Questions about timing belt, cam and crank sprockets. Can I just put the new stuff on the way the came off or do I have to line the marks back up again? I mean won't the car know where the correct timing is? I thought that was the job of the sensors and computer. It's not like this is some old car that doesn't have that stuff.
All the marks have to line up again, if you didn't move anything, in theory it goes back on the same way. Look at the post below, there are links on what has to line up

3.0 Cam sprocket/cam jammmed
Hey folks, new SHO owner here in need of some assistance. I was lining up the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket and "noticed" (aka imagined) that the mark on the leftmost camshaft sprocket was a little bit off center from the mark on the rear of the timing cover. In reality it was...

Okay so a small problem while removing the crank pulley. The bolt for my puller snapped off while pulling it off. Thankfully the pulled was off enough I was able to get a gear puller on it to pull it off the rest of the way. However the bolt that remains in the dampener. Will this effect it much? 
I can see enough of a stub sticking out the back end I am going to try and attempt to weld a nut on to it and extract it. Already tried with some vise grips and there isn’t enough to grab a hold of, and the position is somewhat awkward and doesn’t let you turn with it anyway. Thoughts?

Welding isn't a terrible idea. Sometimes pounding a tight socket on it can work or else drill a pilot hole and bolt extractor

Okay I guess I’ll give it a try. I don’t have any extractors on me at the time.

Original crank sensor out of car. This was how I found it. Also acorns where down with a whole bunch of other junk by the sensor. Will have to do a lot of cleaning before I put stuff back. Lastly the plastic cover covering the timing belt and stuff. Some of the seals on the bottom the lower plastic cover are a bit cracked. Does this really matter?

Okay so upon inspecting the cam sensor housing it looks beautiful and squeaky clean inside. Not a speck of contamination anywhere. So I am just going to skip on trying to dig that seal out of there and just replace the sensor. 
Looks good right?

That's cleaner than any cam sensor area that I've ever looked at. Acorns and whatnot makes me wonder about all the crazy stuff popping off. Looking good. The cover is just that keeps debris away. You should be fine. I wonder if mothballs will keep squirrels out.

It seems the crap like acorns and stuff is crap that fell into the lifter valley under the intake. Gonna try to stick a vacuum in there suck that crap out. Cam seals and main seal upon inspection were pretty hard and a little brittle, but I guess thats just from age.
I would leave it, you can easily change that one if it leaks in the future without tearing the front apart

Yep. Just do your best to get the timing belt right so you don't have to go back in. In fact I would run it with the wheel off and make sure it isn't sputtering. The problem is if it's like 1 tooth off you might not notice it until you have it on the ground and are noticeably down on power.

I did turn the engine at the crank until the timing marks lined up. Hopefully its good. Just gonna take off the water pump then get stuff cleaned up. Will work more tomorrow.

One last update. water pump now off. What a mess… you know I drained the radiator, but damned if the water pump doesn’t hide a crap ton more of antifreeze. Also a question. Where does the last o-ring go? I see there is one stuck in the housing and one for the connection to the engine itself, but the last? Is this the right place for it?
Bryan

And the other rings go here right?
So that would mean two o- rings go into the house in the back. One in the housing itself and one on the crossover tube in the lifter valley.

Just asking because the write up done by sho Phoenix is pretty vague on what goes where.

I haven't had the whole thing out of one in 20 yrs. I know the general steps but exactly that 3rd gasket/seal not sure.
Looks correct. There is a seal at every junction I assume
