Not Ranked
Yes, one thing at a time. One of the dowels looked like it had been moved. I am going to first remove the existing dowels. Last night I took readings in the .046 to .043 range. Not sure I did this right with the dial indicator and will do it again tonight. My plan is to pull the dowels and redo the alignment to see if I can get it closer (within .005) and still have good lateral tolerance with the starter. It's just tight to work on this with the engine in. I will pull the dowels with a dowel puller and hopefully not mess anything up. Then I will take some measurements and see where I am at. Brownell also makes an alignment tool for this task and I have not rulled that out. It is another $150 or so. I am just not so sure I am am getting the right readings on the dial indicator. Either way, dowels are coming out and I will go through a re-alignment.
