Yes, agreed, and Thanks to all!

I don't mind putting myself on display about this situation I encountered with my new bellhousing as there are several people that have complained to me having the exact same problem and just kept driving it as-is. Now they can all see what happens when you just bolt new parts together and expect them to work without blueprinting them first. I did see and use the procedure (obviously not too well the first time) and bolted it together.

Good blueprinting and truly experienced mechanics sure make a difference in building these cars and drivetrains. All you guys that stepped up with helpful, detailed advice are great! Much appreciated. I hope to get it back together next week or so.
