I have a similiar situation with a spare engine and will do the checks listed by Ken and Alistair. My plan is to rehab this engine for an automatic van. Can I replace the flywheel/clutch etc with a flex plate without any needed mods. Of course I will replace the main seal, but what about the shims behind the seal? Just remove them? I don't have my bentley handy to check. Thanks. Rick |
