Now right when I thought I could start the engine this week-end....discovered a cracked rocker arm as I cleaned them up (GRRRRR!!!!). So this thing won't start before another three months....(Sigh)

When you put the pilot shaft tool in to line it up you have to push up on it a little while you tighten up the bolts on the pressure plate. This raises the clutch disk enough to compensate for the sloppy fit of the tool. Then the input shaft on the trans will slide right in....
