Default Re: WANT TO BUY BEST & SAFE ENGINE HOIST

Getting it out is the easy step, putting it back in is a little harder. When I put mine back in (4 extra hands and eyes) I didn't line up the Tork Converter to flex plate, bolts into the holes. I reefed the bellhousing bolts to a snug fit to the engine. Had everything ready to go and turned the starter and the engine turned 3/4 rotation before the flexplate balance weights (Hard steel weights welded on the flex plate) broke the starter casing and then stopped. I thought I put the flex plate on backwards, pulled the tranny out to check it, it was on the correct way, took it to the shop were I had the long block done (thinking I got the wrong one back) and the Mech. pointed out the Tork Conv. bolt indentations on the tranny side of the flex plate, Boy did I feel stupid. Got it back in there the right way and had to replace the broken starter with a new one. Now I am in bussiness with a running 302 in my 1967 coupe.
