Hi all, I have a Rivergate kit installed and now I'm trying to swap engines.
I have removed every fastener that I can find but I can't get the adaptor
plate to budge. Is RTV (silicone glue) that strong???
Also it appears that my son's desire to earn a few extra bucks was
serendipitous as I now see the that the new ring gear that I had installed by
a machine shop was about to come off my flywheel! As I was spinning the crank
to gain access to the clutch pressure plate bolts I noticed that there was a
scraping sound. A closer examination revealed that the ring gear was no
longer centered on the flywheel and was as much as 1/8 inch toward the engine.
It was scraping the oil pump cover!!! Not too deep yet and no damage to the
ring gear. So, I hit it with a hammer and it went back to place but what is
supposed to keep it there?!
Any help appreciated.
Lester
