Hey folks, I'm hoping some of you east coasters might be up early on a Sunday. I'm swapping engines in my car and ran into a problem trying to install the new motor. It won't mate up to the transmission, and after some analysis we found this:
Is that the nub of the old torque converter seized inside the crankshaft? My old engine doesn't have that, just a clean hole where that rusty chunk would be. I didn't drill the hole in it, I picked it up that way.
Right now I'm going to run out and get the nastiest drill bit I can find, as much as the thought of drilling into the crankshaft terrifies me.
