Flywheel.. not to be confused with anything else.
Here'* how far the engine came out, this is your average flexplate or flywheel..call it what you want. At 9 o'clock..there'* a little mark on both flexplate and crank end.

Me moving it around..looking for a better lineup

Screwdriver pointing where I marked the crank.

Screwdriver pointing to the mark on the flywheel. They are 180 degrees apart.


I did it..that'* all I can say. And it wasn't hard.

How would one know how to line it up if he'* moving the flywheel from one engine to another?

The marks are the same from engine to engine, but I think yours will be keyed, John.

The bolts only line up "PERFECTLY" one way, and if your gut says you did it wrong..follow the gut and look at it again.

Eh, I'm sure Boosty wasn't gigglin' too much when he first started that motor

It was probably along the lines of "WTF CHUCK?!?!?!"

Noo only takes a minute to pull the motor and fix it.

Remember what we/you went through with Brads motor. Heck we tore that down to nothing in the car because something wasn't right. Some hard work in both cases paid off and both cars run great now.

I was tooling around today.

"The Boost -O- Matic"


Give him a Motor and in no time he will have in it peaces

Excellent pics to show the fix. Good info that will be very beneficial to the club.
