The part where I give up

Is sealing the flywheel bolts a Ford thing?

LOL, I'm wondering that...

Yes,
They are not blind holes, they are open to the crank case.

I'm 100% positive i put something on the bolts, however i don't recall what it was.

I remember posting a thread about installing it (because i post about everything) and someone shit on me because of the bolts i used, whatever came with the flywheel

This thread..

Can i have my crown back

For biggest tard on the pb. Put the trans on by yourself they said. Don't be a pussy they said. Super easy they said. Well no one mentioned how easy it is to blow out your pilot bearing when trying to shove them together. Or maybe take them apart? Fuck I don't know. This sets me back...

Suck it up and no more excuses. Either live with the oil leak or pull that trans and see what the fuck is going on.

I don't know what you're asking me to measure, but after checking my build thread, i could rotate one dowel and still slip the bellhousing over them. They were .007 offset dowels

You mean you could rotate one away from and towards the centerline?
If so, that's not good.

You did seal the flywheel bolt threads?

after checking pictures on my phone, my crankshaft doesn't have through holes. So it shouldn't matter

It will if you are trying to get the Ukrainian girl pregnant.

I've learned two new things today, both about Ford engines.

One leak?

That transmission will be out more times than that Ukranian girl. It is called race car.

Toss it in the dumpster and install some Chevy power?

So sorry for your loss.

Non stock crank?

Why isn't it out yet? Already in the air, chop chop, don't stop.

Your likely correct on this point, 351w cranks mostly had blind holes, I just checked.

I was speeding home to enjoy a steak dinner, got pulled over, she put mango habanero sauce on the steak, all around a fuckin terrible late afternoon.

FFS. You said after you got the dowels "set" you still had slop in the tolerances. So here is specifically what I am asking: (1) did you use a digital caliper to measure the dowel holes in the block; (2) did you use a digital caliper to measure the dowel holes in your bellhousing/adapter? And (3) did you order the correct dowels?

One may be 5mm, the other 5.5mm or 6mm. Or whatever. It seems that whatever you are saying, which is far from clear, is that after you set the offset dowels you could still move the bellhousing around. That should not happen at all.

Correct the dowels were snug in the block but not in the bellhousing. I could remove one dowel, rotate it, pres back into block and the bell would still slide over both dowels. I had no need at the time to measure the dowels or holes in the bellhousing.

Again i don't see how one could expect the bellhousing holes to be within .005" fit, especially with powdercoat tolerances

Jesus Christ. I'm dealing with Forrest Gump.

I'm out.

Damn!

Of course I should not reply. There was a time when I questioned the tartar sauce that was found on her lips. You know. Down there. (Thankfully it tasted like tartar sauce.)
