Installling Engine: Flex Plate to Torque Converter
I attempted to install my "new" (Nate partial rebuild low mileage) engine.. I torqued 4 engine bolts.. Tried to align flex plate bolt holes with TC threaded holes for 4 bolts.. Wouldn't move at interface.. Tried to turn engine at crank pulley bolt.. WOULDN'T BUDGE @ 123 ft-lbs!
Nate says the TC wasn't seated, but can't give further explanation on HOW to seat properly?? Anyone able to explain wat I did wrong.. or more importantly.. HOW to remove/replace engine successfully? I don't look forward to the removal/installation a second time, but REALLY don't wanna end up with the frozen engine. Of course, I'm also worried I damaged the AT! Well.. I just talked to Tom by phone.. so got some idea how to seat.. and about 1/8" of 1/4" TC tabs (where threaded holes ) must protrude out of Bell Housing only.. PLUS, I seem to NOT have the 2 lateral guide posts (??) Thanks, Jim
