My Build Thread-American Hogger

Erikclaw · Apr 4, 2014

but with that much noise would't you expect to see marks on the bolt heads not just the seal. I wouldn't think the seal rubbing would make that kind of racket.

The seal doesn't move but the flex plate does.

But its bolted directly to the crank, if anything it would just push the seal in right? Unless it was bad and shaking around like crazy.

The metal portion of the seal spins. There is the rubber part that is stationary. I figure while I'm there I mine as well replace the seal. It looks pretty ****ty and with my luck will fail. I'm going to take the flex plate to a tire shop and throw it on a balancer and see if its warped at all. Its probably converter but its just one more precautionary step. I'll put it back on with my RCD converter and try it out. Yay for trans swaps LOL.

Is it bad that I know every single tool and socket size needed?

Like a real Hogger you know the size of every tool needed. And some that aren't LOL:toast:

No, thats a good thing! Especially if you need to do on the spot repairs.. makes it way way quicker to swap parts. As you know already.

A must to receive your Hoggin license. They just don't hand those out all willy nilly and stuff LOL

Call tag for converter issued. Going to put old one back in to verify it was converter and that will determine my phone call Monday. Its either an apology or a new converter being built and sent before mine gets there.

Call you tomorrow to square up Peter. Completely forgot until I saw your name.

Yes it moves by itself although it was raining so it didn't leave the garage. Excited to drive it tomorrow though. Hoping for dry roads.
