Flex Plate
Alright I made a boo boo.I was putting on the flex plate on the stroker today,using the new bolts I bought. First mistake, I used an impact to zip them on. I soon realized that the bolts were too long,I looked between the crank and the block and found that they were bottomed out,oops. I backed them out and noticed the main cap had a small ring where the bolts had made contact, and the block had small chips where the bolts had nicked it. I took the file and took off as much of the chips as I could. Doesn't look like a biggie hope thats all the damage I did, I feel like such a tool. O yeah I used the old bolts off the L48, they fit perfect.
