My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

Well, looked over my flywheel housing and spent the better part of yesterday cleaning and painting it. No whiz wheels, as tempting as it was, to get the corrosion off the bellhousing end. Put it on, and checked the bore, everything was right within specs, until I checked the run out.

12 ~ 0"
3 +.010"
6 +.017
9 +.010

I moved it around, I pulled it off, pulled the dowels and ran a file over the area...

I have no clue how the housing gradually grows towards the bottom, but it does. Could it have a twisted up from abuse?

Cummins price is crazy, but local shop didn't have anything good to say about the aftermarket. Anyone used the AKMI?

Lesson learned - don't paint anything until it's on lol.
