Need help quick!!

[Korndogg]

sorry for putting this here but I need to figure this out ASAP.


I have a precision torque converter with 7/16" bolts but the holes in the B&M flexplate I have are smaller. Has anyone ever had a problem with this?

you need to drill the flexplate.
most SFI flexplates have the bigger holes in them.

[Korndogg]

yeah it is a SFI flexplate. Its this one actually.

[Korndogg]

quoted for truth!.just take your time while drilling

[Korndogg]

I just cant believe how close this flexplate is to the bellhousing. Its like scary close.

i wouldnt worry. its not like the flex plate expands, in which case it would hit. get-r-done

[Korndogg]

yeah Im going to drill them first thing when I get home from work tomorrow cause I want to get it running on thursday. Well as it sits right now it could run just not drive anywhere...but I want to get the trans in before I put on the pass header.

Make sure you don't have it on backwards. I've heard of guys doing just that.

Lol shut up. In my engine book it shows it the way I had it.

Be sure to use a STEP BIT when you drill so that you can keep the hole centered properly.

[Korndogg]

yeah that was my plan. Im still worried about it not being centered because this flexplate is REALLY close to the bellhousing..lol

[wheelsofsteel]

Did you get that thing in??
Ready to crank it up tonight as planned???

[Korndogg]

Its not in yet. Hopefully will be in tonight if all goes well with the starter clearance and all. Possibly will be starting it tonight.

[BAD LS1]

Make sure to break it in properly... right up to 7 grand right of the driveway if its a roller motor!

[Korndogg]

roller rockers but no roller cam.

[wheelsofsteel]

Close enough. :D

[Korndogg]

I have a feeling Im not going to be able to fix my starter problem though.

and is that really what Im suppose to do with a roller motor?

[2SLOW]

roller rockers but no roller cam.
hold it to the floor till it stops revving thats what i always do:rolf:rolf:rolf

[Lash]

Lol shut up. In my engine book it shows it the way I had it.

LMAO!!!

[Korndogg]

[Korndogg]

Oh and for the record. The way I had it the first time was the right way. Summit told me the wrong way.

Could you? sure...

2000-2500rpm for 20 minutes...a couple of blips here and there up to 3000-3500 every couple of minutes. Just make sure you watch the temperature, oil pressure, and for leaks...see something fishy, shut it down and fix whatever the problem is...then start it up and resume the procedure. IDEALLY, everything is right and you don't have to shut-down.
