|
|
Grinding the bell housing in the transmission for fly wheel clearance.
Still grinding on the bell housing!!
Round 2
Spraying again to make sure the fly wheel isnt rubbing the bell housing.
Another spin
Perfect, no more grinding
I hope this helps someone out there. It was pretty simple to do just find a mock-up motor!
