[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16631719, member: 70025"] Hello Everyone, Okay, it was a great weekend for me. I feel like I accomplished a lot, but more importantly things feel into place for me. Always love when things workout as planned :D. First I got my bellhousing aligned. I was stressing this process as the guys on YouTube make it look simple. Not so much when you are doing it yourself LOL. After I installed my dowel pins I got everything set up and redid my measurements. Based on my set up my points of interest on the bellhousing were at 2, 5, 8 and 11 O'clock. I was nervous and wanted to make sure I did this right. So, I measured this 4 times. Every time I was within .001 of my previous measurement. So, I was pretty confident it was right. Or I measured wrong 4 times in a row LMAO!!!! 8 O'clock was my 0 measurement/starting point. Every measurement from here has to be at plus or minus .010 divide by 2 to get me to .005 or less. [ATTACH=full]1707769[/ATTACH] Rotated the crank and 5 O'clock measured out at +.006. Good to go here. [ATTACH=full]1707770[/ATTACH] Rotated the crank and 2 O'clock (180 out from 8 O'clock) measured out at +.009 (Very close, but within spec). Good to go here. [ATTACH=full]1707771[/ATTACH] Rotated the crank and 11 O'clock (180 out from 5 O'clock) measured out at -.006 (exactly opposite of 5 O'clock). Good to go here. [ATTACH=full]1707772[/ATTACH] Went back to 8 O'clock and hit 0 again. All is within spec. Thank God. This was a pain in the _ _ _! LOL. [/QUOTE]
