That’s interesting. I’ve only ever seen that thread lock should be used. The only difference I can think of between the early and late sbc for the flywheel is switching from the two piece rear main seal to one piece which changed the flywheel bolt pattern. Maybe they changed their stance at that point
I'm just a do it yourself-er... Wouldn't it be best to put the pilot bearing in first ? More room to work and less chance to get spooge on the flywheel. Thanks, nice job on the video !!
So I found the bronze bushing its ID is small the alignment tool wont fit , I am questioning the out put shaft will fit . So I am grabbing a re-emerging and opening the hole.
thanks for the video man , i have a 73 Charger 400 big block with 4 speeds , i have a bad vibration , thought it was the driveshaft it wasn't .i have vibration when i raise my RPM standing still , could it be the flywheel ? also i have a very stiff clutch pedal and vibrating when launching
@@iowadiy6361 yes i posted an old photo of my engine before installing it and someone told that it doesn't have the pilot bushing and another friend saw the flywheel is not tighten to the max
I think it's worth mentioning that the pilot should be pressed all the way to the lip. Reason being, that insures the pilot bearing is true and straight. Its press fit so it can be close but you're talking about thousandth of an inch that matter in this instance.
Yes, sometimes that extra thousandth of an inch can be the difference to be within tolerance or not. That would be a small mistake that would take a lot of time to fix!
I’m not really concerned with a spot on the floor and I check the oil every time I fill up with fuel so I’m not worried about it getting low. I’m also building a new engine for it now
Newer transmissions will typically use a bearing but older ones used a bushing. A bushing is very forgiving and will last for me as long as I have the car so that’s why I use a bushing
I’ve never used a needle bearing, but if there’s a flat side on the bearing that would be meant to be pressed in flat against a surface. A round side would be on the outside
I’ve heard it both ways and I understand the logic behind both thoughts. I’m not sure which one is right, but I haven’t had a problem yet with adding just a little bit of grease

great job, I'm actually doing this job right now. did a search to check myself. Thanks...Scott
Your intro got my subscription
Thanks for explaining, appreciate the care for the pressure plate bolts... very helpful
No problem, glad it helped!
You never put grease in a pilot bushing cause they are self lubricated.
Great job, thank you man!
The 1996 GM service manual is pretty clear: no thread lock on the flywheel bolts. Creates quite the dilemma.
That’s interesting. I’ve only ever seen that thread lock should be used.

@@iowadiy6361 what color loctite were you using?
I don’t recall. It was whatever I had on hand... which might come back to bite me later
@@4marky I used blue.

Yes, that actually makes a lot of sense. I’ll make sure to do it in that order next time!
Should have kept that song going
So I found the bronze bushing its ID is small the alignment tool wont fit , I am questioning the out put shaft will fit . So I am grabbing a re-emerging and opening the hole.
There are several different sizes of pilot bushings. If it’s a large difference I’d just make sure to buy the right one
I think the bushing was crushed .... thus making the ID small. I have a replacement bushings already. It fits the input shaft no problem.
That would do it. Good thing you didn’t try to force it and make another problem
What size socket for the flywheel bolts?
I think in my case it was 11/16. But every manufacturer can be different

It could be something loose on the flywheel or clutch. I think that’s probably the first place to look at
@@iowadiy6361 yes i posted an old photo of my engine before installing it and someone told that it doesn't have the pilot bushing and another friend saw the flywheel is not tighten to the max
Hopefully that’s all it is and you can just tighten it up, install the bushing and then go
@@iowadiy6361 hopefully brother keep up the good work love the videos greetings from Lebanon
What’s the part number for the flywheel?
I do t have that. I just got it from O’Reilleys. It’s a late block so it’s a one piece rear main seal too
I think it's worth mentioning that the pilot should be pressed all the way to the lip. Reason being, that insures the pilot bearing is true and straight. Its press fit so it can be close but you're talking about thousandth of an inch that matter in this instance.

If using a pilot bearing which way do the needle bearings face towards the block or away?
Should it spin inside?
No. A bushing should not spin inside the crankshaft. The input shaft of the transmission will spin inside the bushing though.
Why not fix the oil leaks?
I’m not really concerned with a spot on the floor and I check the oil every time I fill up with fuel so I’m not worried about it getting low. I’m also building a new engine for it now
Looked like a valve cover leaking down, or the rear main seal. Nice truck.
What's better a bushing or bering?
Newer transmissions will typically use a bearing but older ones used a bushing. A bushing is very forgiving and will last for me as long as I have the car so that’s why I use a bushing
Thank you.
@@iowadiy6361 which way should the needle bearings face ? Towards block or away I can't seem to find out even on Prodemand.

Bearing any day.
Do not grease Oilite bushing!
