Default X-post - Anyone in the DFW area have an OPRV alignment tool?

I need one but I leave on friday so I figured I'd ask the locals.

Anyone have one I can borrow?

Thanks!

You don't need the alignment tool. Install the housing with the bolts finger tight. Install OPRV making sure that you can thread it in easily. If you need a wrench, the bolts for the housing are too tight and not allowing it to float as you install the valve. Once you have the valve installed, carefully tighten the bolts a bit at a time being sure not to disturb the alignment.

I know this. That's how I did it when I replaced the seals on my 2.5. I'm trying to install the oil filter housing on my 3.1L and I don't have an OPRV sitting around.
