JAM!the flexplate is JAMMED SOLID like the head of one of the ford convertor bolts is jammed against the rear of the engine block!!The flex CANNOT be turned back again OR either way, even with a 500mm long breaker bar on the balancer..WTF!!!!!!!the Atomic flexplate kit had no bolts for the convertor just the acutal flexplate-to-crank bolts.... we are assuming that the atomic flexplate being 7mm thicker than the ford stocker, has pushed the head of the bolts to the convertor closer to the engine block, causing the heads to jam against the cast block.FMD this is all we need, 2 bloody bolts to go from a whole gearbox removal and re-fit and this sh*t happens..WHOS GOT A PIC OF THE REAR OF THE BLOCK BEHIND THE FLEXPLATE????? PPLEASSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELP US FIND/POST A PIC IF U CAN!!ive scoured the forums and google and I cannot find sh*t, even tried ebay wrecker engines but no rear shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FML.... :bangcomputer: :bangcomputer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
