Put the flywheel & clutch on tonight. Tomorrow I'll bolt up the trans & get it ready to put in the bay. Quick check of the valve clearances whilst I was setting the flywheel * TDC gave me clearances that are out of spec- the thicker cam box gasket I used clearly threw them out compared to the thinner style gasket (that always cracks for me, anyway) that the shop used when setting up the head. I think I'll deal with that prior to installation.
The ARP flywheel bolts that were recommended don't work so well. The heads are larger & there isn't sufficient clearance between bolt heads even using a 3/8" thin wall socket, so I used 2 of the original bolts & 4 of the ARP . I must have discarded the other original bolts, or I would have just used them all & been done with it.
