Brief Description: Engine Build - Oil seal and Flywheel install
Tonight I installed the oil seal and flywheel. I enlisted some help from my neighbor Jim to move the engine from the motor stand to the work bench. I first installed the end shims and test fit the flywheel one more time to make sure that I had the correct end play. Once that was done I installed the rear seal with a little high temp RTV. Now it was time to torque the flywheel gland nut to 227 ft lbs. Easier said than done. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with the torque wrench I got on loan from the local auto parts store. I finally got all my weight and then some into it and the wrench clicked. Done! Not sure if you can see the sweat dripping from me or not, but it was. I could not have done this without my lovely assistant!
