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?

can someone take a picture of the "shims" so maybe it will jar my memory? I know I didn't use a dial indicator, but I may have put the shims back on when I installed the flywheel/clutch job, and put the engine back...
