Not Ranked
"My Lakewood bellhousing is an unacceptable product. I can't believe companies get away with manufacturing this type of junk. Punching holes vs. boring holes is definitely not going to save Lakewood money when considering future lost sales."
Don't blame the bellhousing, it is only part of the equation. Your block has the dowel holes in it as well. If the block has ever been align-honed on the mains in the last thirty years, the crank moves up in the block. Just get the offset dowels and bring it into .005".
Why did you decide not to follow the instructions and check runout when you first installed it? They give you a paper in the box telling you how to. You or your builder took a shortcut, and it caused problems. Lakewood products are as good as anybody's, all SFI approved scattershields have punched holes.
This is why you need to check your crank to bellhousing runout, on all motors with any bellhousing.
