Re: Flywheel Is Contacting The Inspection Cover
Jason, sorry to say this but I think Rob nailed it. You may have hit something on the trail but tweeking the cover didn't fix it for long. You can easily check crankshaft end play with a pry bar. Simply pry the flywheel back towards the trans, then pry it forward twards the engine. The clearance should not excede .015" max. If it does, drop the pan, pull the oil pump and rear main cap and inspect the lower 1\2 shell and look up at the shaft brng flange.Both will have lines ect, but nothing deep. Remove 1\2 shell from the cap and stick it into place and try to fit a .015 feeler gage in as a backup check. From there you have to just replace the brng and or crankshaft to fix it. Most often, just put in new bearings, new seal and drive it. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
