Dodged another bullet--Flywheel

[bogie1]

I had the trans out today and found what the horendice noise was. All 6 bolts on the flywheel to crankshaft were "very loose". I had the last fly wheel replaced by a local trans shop and when I told him what I found he said "that's what you get from so much torque." I bet he never torqued them down right to begin with. The crankshaft endplay was fine and there was no sign of the 9X11 converter face touching the flywheel so no shims went in.
Also the new shocks and airbags are installed and the 10" wide GBody wheels and 275X60X15 MT ET Street Radials have 1.5-2.0" clearance now. I am ready for Sunday at the drags. PTL!
