Bro I can’t explain how helpful this video is. My SST Bellhousing was too small to fit on my TKX(it was .002 too small). So I have a factory Bellhousing I’m remeasuring and your video has helped so much. Thank you!!!
You made my day! Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad the video was of value. Yes, I’ve experienced the same with the Silver Sport bellhousing. Everything seems to be an interference fit; both dowel holes as well as the mating surface of transmission. Thank you for watching, enjoy your TKX!
Thank you for watching. SST really made it easy. The hardest part is getting the dial indicator in the bellhousing. My last engine was in spec as is, I hope yours is too, makes it simple!
Dude if you spin the crank and thus, the dial indicator 180° from a mark, the top dial will then be on that very same mark. The pin of the indicator is a straight perpendicular line and the tip of the pointer is exactly 180° from the point is the knurled knob. Just turning the dial until the top of the pin is lined up with the original line is far more accurate then drawing random eyeballed marks across from each other. At the end of the video you started at an arbitrary line and zero. The indicator landed nearly perfectly at 180° from that zero point with 7° run out. As such there’s no point in doing a second 180° because if you zero the dial then 180° must be 7° off so we can just divide by 2.
Thank you Chris, and thank you for watching all of the video. I appreciate you. You are absolutely right, but what is hard to see is that my dial indicator didn't line up directly through the center of the circle, otherwise yes, the plunger ends would have lined up exactly 180 degrees from each other. Thank you again!

Very informative and thanks for the dowel pin information
Thank you for watching! I appreciate you! Happy holidays!
I watched all the others. Yours is most thorough video on the subject
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
Well done, good to know. Thanks
Thank you for watching!
My TKX will be here next week! Going to use your video to do this!

Great job! Informative and entertaining! 10lbs poop in a 5 lb bucket. 😅
Thank you for watching! I appreciate you!
Thanks it’s very informative.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate the feedback!
You can save yourself a lot of grief by placing a mirror where you can see the back of the bellhousing from the front. Great explanation though.
That's a great suggestion, thank you! Thank you for watching!
You can get much smaller dial indicators!
Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for watching!
thank you for your knowledge and videos TRUMP USA 🇺🇸 MAGA
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel!
Get yourself a quality pair of knee pads for around the shop. You can then get rid of those mats.
Thanks Mike, that's a great recommendation...I just need a lift! HA!
