We worked on it all day today but didn't finish. I modified the new pilot bearing so that it wasn't pushing the crank forward but didn't take quite enough off. We couldn't get the bellhousing to flush up against the block but we didn't know if it was just being stuborn or if the pilot was binding. So I put a dial indicator on the crank snout and tightened up the bellhousing bolts and had Adam watch. Turns out I was off by .004. So we pulled the trans and made a spacer out of the auto trans shield that Andy brought. It was .070 thick and after we put it back together the dial indicator didn't move. I believe Adam took some pictures today so maybe he'll post them up later. Andy is coming back out tomorrow so we can hopefully finish it up.

Well, she's done! We finished eveything up today and Andy drove it home tonight.





I got some video too but it's was taken with my phone and it's still uploading. I'll post it up later when it's finished.

Major congrats you guys! Must be a sense of accomplishment and a probably little relief. :thumbs_up:
