Subject: [Healeys] Ring gear not fully seated in flywheel
Has anyone ever seen or heard of a 6 cylinder Healey flywheel ring gear =
that was not fully seated onto the flywheel. I discovered just such a =
situation with a flywheel from a motor that had little over 5,000 miles =
on it. There is a bit more than 1/8th inch gap. The ring gear was =
rubbing on the top 2 rear engine plate mounting bolts. It was definitely =
a noise maker. I suspect that is why the engine came out of the car at =
such low mileage.
