LOL yes as a matter of fact I do have a full head of hair although lately I've seen more in the showerπŸ‘€πŸ˜‚

However, I finally got to do a test drive today and all was NORMAL, WOW!!! πŸ’₯πŸš€πŸ§¨πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‡πŸŽ―πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈimagine that. My prayers were heard πŸ™πŸ™ up up up

I do want to thank all that contributed and offered help while reading my findings. The ROOT cause? Don't know But I'm going to guess that the bolded portion of RudeRunners post below was the culprit. beer

That dark spot looks about 180 from where the grinding marks are visible. Like the flywheel wobbles.
Be a good idea to check that on the new flywheel too. Who knows if the crank flange is bent. Unlikely but not impossible.
Bellhousing concentricty is important too.
There may be multiple little things adding up.


Thanks again to ALL beer beer
