Don't think oil is a problem. Balance, maybe. BTW I thought there were 6
flywheel bolts, with locking tabs that each spanned two bolts? Assuming

Oh, I looked it up, apparently later cars had a single locking ring. Still 6
bolts, though. Did you fit the locking ring? If not, I'd take it back apart
(BTDT).
