talking to the guy i bought the motor from the other day, and he asked how many shims i had to put in the flywheel. I said..." shims?". When i bolted and torqued it 80lbs, i didnt see anything about no shims! Engine seemed to turn over by hand, alittle stiff, but turned over none the less. Could i be hurting it running w/ too much tension or something? Im planning on taking the trans back out for some parts replacement, i guess ill mic it then and check, but if its too tight could it toast the motor i guess?

Do not run your engine until you have verified that the end play is correct.
You can break your crank and/or you can sieze the engine. I didnt get the end play correct on the first type one engine I built back in prehistoric times and it cost me dearly. Pull your engine and set the play before drivivng your car. Good Luck, JT |
