Re: O-ring groove in flywheel housing
my problem is the engine block which warp at the four lower threads for the bolts. The flywheel housing, which is not original from this car, is very straight. I never thought that this can happen. So the block was processed (honing, modern crank bearing shells, new rods) but without make even the rear flywheel housing flange. Here in germany is not much experience around, regarding As and also with my training as a car mechanic -- I can not know everything.
I will not take the block on the milling machine again. So I thought for a solution and this was the way.
@ BRENT in 10-uh-C -- please note attached image, the holes for the six bolts are numbered. The dowel pins are not possible to tighten with a torque wrench. Also in my opinion the paper gasket is the cause of warpy housings.
