I would have run it up to the machine shop and had them surface it .

Also that brings up a good point , the picture the OP put up shows his dial indicator is not inside the bore of the bellhousing ... at least it looks that way ??? but the picture is small ... if that is the case he isn't really getting an accurate reading...

but probably close enough for a caveman ...



I could not get my set up adjusted so that the indicator was fully centered in the bore but it is inside the bore. The picture was taken looking slightly down and from the left. The part that contacts the bore is as close to dead center as I could get it. Does the set up not look right?

How can you be plus on both the left and right? Did you zero the dial indicator? I checked mine every 45* and could watch it go from - to + back to - or 0 depending on the position. Tim
