Hey everyone, I have a project someone else gave up on because they believed the motor was locked. Being a freshly rebuilt 289, I decided to take the risk.
I seperated the tranny (C4) from the motor (289) and the pump gear was snapped in half. I believe it was due to the cheap washers between the flywheel and crank in that it wouldn't allow for the torque convertor to properly index or work..
Anyway, the motor turns nicely but before I put the fresh tranny back in, I need to make sure I correctly install the new flywheel.
Question is: "Should the flywheel be spaced in some fashion between it and the crank?" I've not been into 1 of these in 16 years so I need a refresh... I appreciate the help in advance.
