Now for the real fun. Time to mock up the bellhousing, flywheel, starter, etc. Now I remember why I quit working on cars for a living. If it can go wrong it will for me. Luckily I am not getting paid so I enjoy it.
So I take the engine off the stand..pretty exciting. First thing is the pilot bearing. I pushed it in with my thumb. That's not going to work. Slightly oversize or whatever is in order tomorrow. Strike one.
Next I mocked up the starter. .006 is not enought clearance between my starter and flywheel. GM mini starter and flywheel. Thank SCAT. Strike 2
The SFI bellhousing doesnt clear my oil pressure sensor....different fitting arrangement will fix it.....strike three
