First dial indicator the crank shaft to the block
Also verify end play
Then mount flywheel and shim only on the top accelerator ears for 3 and 9 o’clock.
Next shim for 6 and 12 o’clock. (On same two ears)
Last clean crank flange and flywheel mounting, and then mount flywheel.
Now dial indicate flywheel, and everything will be square.
