Ned, bolt it to the engine (make sure the mating surfaces are spotless) and torque it to spec. Then flatness check the bellhousing with a dial indicator & mag base on the crankshaft.
These things are blanchard ground flat on the tranny side in a restrained condition (i.e. with bolts installed) so flatness in an unrestrained condition may not be perfect.
