i will be installing my mcloed bell housing in the next couple day but there are no instructions and i was wondering if i could get some tips on how to install it!

I heard you need some offset dowel pins so i have bought the .007 pins as well as the .015 pins.

So if anyone has installed them and has any tips to make this easier for me i would really be thankful. I am a mechanic at trade so i do know what im doing and im sure i would figure it out on my own im just looking for some tips to speed it up a little.

Thanks
Dan

im not totally sure but i think u need to get a dial indicator to find out the runout?, basically gotta put the pointer on the side of the end of the crank, have someone turn the motor over and watch how much difference is (how much the needle goes back and forth), I always thought u just had to get a offset dowel and just turn it to meet the spec u need, but i dont no much about it so I guess there are different ones. do a search on here or any search engine im sure u can find a nice write-up

I've never done it myself, but here is a link to a write-up I found when I was in the market for a scattershield.
