Hey guys, just finished replacing the rear main seal and housing gasket on my 04 Tahoe. Chilton book said to mark relationship between the flywheel/driveplate and crankshaft -- I did this step. Upon removing, it appears that the "extra" hole on the engine block didn't match with the extra hole on the flywheel/driveplate. My instinct is to install the flywheel/driveplate the way it came off, but I can't help but wonder if it was put on this way by mistake.

I checked a few YouTube videos and noticed one in particular where the guy took his flywheel/driveplate off and the extra hole didn't match up. He didn't say anything about it. Here's the video I'm referring to -- go to 1:20:


This guy reinstalled the flywheel/driveline with the extra hole aligned with the one on the engine block -- see 9:17.

So my question is, should I reinstall the flywheel/driveplate the way it came off or align it with the extra hole on the block?
