I'm also having a hard time picturing why flywheel/flywheel housing alignment and/or crank centering alignment can contribute to it jumping out of third gear. Can you explain that further?
Thanks

From Turlock Machine Post, Mike K's reply: I remember a certain "Miracle engine" guy, (Flanagan?) that used to butcher, er, I mean 'improve' blocks like this. You get the best of all worlds:
1) The cam/crank gear spacing gets pinched too tight.
2) The pistons, already higher after decking, will now be alarmingly high.
3) Your transmission will now work automatically. With the lost alignment of the crank center to the tranny, the thing will pop out of gear all by itself!
