Re: Aluminum Flywheel
Guys Joe is asking about a spacer plate between the crank and flywheel. Hes not asking about a plate between the flywheel and mounting bolts. Joe since there is a difference between early and late Flathead flywheels which causes the ring gear heights at times to not be the same and rear flywheel surface interference a spacer between the crankshaft and flywheel is used at times if a late flywheel is being used on the early crank or if the early flywheel is being used on a late crank. The exact offset difference is not a lot but at times will create two possible problems one with the starter bendix and two some interference with the oil pump idler gear drive cover to the rear of certain flywheels.
