05 B3000 v6 automatic Flex plate Spacer?
Just rebuilt the motor, replacement crank casting numbers matched old one. Engine installed flexplate too far foward starter bendix staying engaged. In other words not enough space between starter and flexplate. Contacted a Mazda Parts department and they show a spacer plate between the crank and flexplate. So installation would be crank, spacer, flexplate, bolts then torque converter.
So here is the question when I look up the alternate ford part number for the spacer the diagrams show the spacer on the outside of the flexplate as a reinforcement plate?
Does this spacer have multiple applications?
Engine builder said he did install a reinforcement ring on the outside of the flexplate, so I am assuming it's installed in the wrong spot?
Any thoughts or am I chasing the wrong rabbit.
