Spitlisters,
In following the advice from you guys, I looked up for what Nolan Perry
called a pilot bearing in my Haynes manual. Flipping through the pages I saw
on page 48 fig.16.11a things called bolts that hold the engine plate to the
engine...I'm here to tell EVERYONE that I don't recall putting these back
in. I say that because when my friend Duke helped lift the tranny back in
the engine plate fell off the studs on top the engine. I didn't think
anything about it because I figured the bell housing bolts would snug it all
together. This is what I get for thinking!!!!!!! Now it's back to taking it
all back apart to put in these bolts. It didn't bother me that I had extra
bolts because I had purchased new for the bell house and starter. I'll post
my outcome.
Remember...practice makes perfect!!!!!!! Besides I don't have anything
else better to do!!!!!
