Default Re: Installing SFI bell-housing

you'll definately have to at least loosen the headers from the heads. I had to completely loosen both sides and leave them hanging.

Make sure you check the runout on the bellhousing, otherwise input shaft failure could occur. If you've not seen how to do this before. Install the bellhousing without the clutch installed, put a magnetic base dial indicator on the flywheel and check the runout from the 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, and 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock positions on the rear hole of the bell (where the trans goes in). If it is out more than .005" in any direction, you will need offset alignment dowels.

good luck,

-Drew
