Seal not set to the proper depth?

There's nothing else that could be rubbing, unless you are not using the genuine Ford bolts and they are a hair too long.

Bolts are cheap, having the flywheel come loose is not!

 

Hmmm...I am using the same bolts and flywheel I had on there. My book, says the RMS should be flush w/the the edge of the rear surface of the block/cap.

My thought, was that the bolts were hitting the back of the block, so none of the flywheel bolts use a washer on the backside (just a thought/I may have missed seeing them) :?*

 

SLOW going w/work, waiting for parts, etc. Flywheel bolts changed out. Pressure plate bolts changed out. All good so far. Throwout bearing...am I supposed to have a retaining clip for it...mine doesn't have one, but the book shows one?? if so; where can I find one...Napa, etc doesn't know what I'm talking about LOL

 

Truck runs like a raped ape now!!

 

I would think a raped ape would limp..

I'm just sayin..

 

I've just always thought that was a funny saying...the truck drives 100% better now (go figure LOL)...its like learning to drive it all over again (lots of power)!
