Default RE: Trouble aligning turbine thrust line?

Hey, First off, I'm no engineer.

But I'm guessing that since I have a tight fit on the inner cone and then as I slide it in a little farther I get a tight fit on the inside of the outer cone, that I am real close (close enough) to being centered. Now if the outer tailcone and inner cone are not on the same centerline, then I am going to be off with my alignment tool. But I would suspect that these 2 are on the same centerline, so I think I'm there.

Any experts want to chime in? Because it's possible I'm all wet in my thinking. But I know both turbines I tried the tool on, looked to be in better alignment once I adjusted them.
