Well this is embarrassing...wrong flywheel.
Ive had my 300I6 in my truck for several months now. No problems at all. Ive recently started to have a really weird vibration around 1700rpm though...but Ive thought nothing of it until reading that the 302 flywheel I used should not be used on the 300. Ive got roughly 3000k miles on it since assembly...so Imma make this right ASAP.
If I kept driving like it is...how badly can it screw things up? We talking bearing replacement or what? Ive been keeping it limited to low rpm use and I usually cruise just under 2000, about 1800-1900.
Its really not a BAD vibration...but you can tell somethings not right.
This...SUCKS. Mostly cause I have to spend money...and I have to take it all apart again. And I thought I did such a good job too on this swap.

The vibration is there all the time, you just don't notice it until a certain RPM is reached.
Sooner or later, usually sooner, the vibration will tear the center from the flywheel. Not pleasant!
