Re: Bellhousing alignment
Half is correct. You are in good shape. If you can get it tighter that would be better. Video is from Summit Tech.

Re: Bellhousing alignment
Thanks Sean!!
Think this is about as close as I can get. Original dial reading was 48 half being 24 so I went with the .021 dowels getting me within .003 best case... |

Re: Bellhousing alignment
.003 is damn close--- unless you futz around all day trying to get closer--then you might throw the other reading off if you finally do get it where you want it-- might also be burrs on the inside of the bell housing opening causing the gauge to read what it's readingFED 387

Re: Bellhousing alignment
Interesting that no one is talking about parallel alignment which I have often found to be off by a mile. The video doesn't mention it either. Don't waste your time doing one unless you do both.

Re: Bellhousing alignment
I would play some more, such as moving .004 vertically and slightly to the side. I was able after some tries to get within .001" out after starting somewhere near where you are now. Be sure you tighten the mounting bolts starting at the bottom ones which are closest to being in line with the crank centerline.
