My old rule is do it right the first time -- and then you don't have to worry about it forever and ever.

Sorry you're having these issues!
Thanks Greg. I've got until at least Tuesday before the clutch and flywheel will be ready. At first I had a bit of "sticker shock" at the turnaround time but then realized I've got PLENTY of other stuff to work on lol! I plan on spending some of that time checking all the threads on the motor as well as pulling the pan so I can check the oil tube o-ring.
