Hello all,
Got an easy question for you. I am about to bolt my torque converter to flex plate (727 trans), and observe the gap between the flex plate and converter is 0.245". My understanding is this is a bit too much? I've read the max gap should be 0.187", and that I should use some grade 8 washers between the flex plate and the converter. That would bring the gap to about 0.170" or so. It will reduce the thread engagement of the 7/16 ARP fasteners, however, but there is no way around that.
Does this all sound OK, or am I missing any considerations?
Thanks!
