My parts should arrive tomorrow and I'll begin reassembling. I replaced the pilot bushing even though the old one looked pretty good (it's only $5 and I don't want to have to tear this thing down again) and I have the resurfaced flywheel installed waiting on a clutch.

I've been reading up on the drivetrain installation process in preparation for this, but most of the material is from the perspective of a new build. All the references mention the need to dial in the bellhousing (mine is a Lakewood). My question is, is this necessary for me to check given that none of the parts concerned have been replaced and that it was dialed in when the parts were originally mated?

I own a dial indicator but don't have it in my possession at the moment. I hate buying duplicate tools so I'd like to avoid it if it's not necessary.

Thanks.
