I guess I'm going to have to dial in the bellhousing now.
I have a question about the Browell Tool. How do you tell the far off-center you are if you have a no-go situation? Do you use a feeler gage?
And while I'm at it, does anyone have a Browell Tool that they would like to rent out?
Thanks!

I used Browell tool and a feeler gauge to figure out how much it was out and also used the same feeler to figure out the starting and end points of the run out. Mine was out .014" from about 8 o clock down around to 4 o clock. I Bought the .007 dowel pins from Robb Mc and installed them. I also double checked this with a dial indicator to verify I was doing it right.
It mentions in the TKX instructions to verify the parallel measurement of the bellhousing as well radial run out of the bore both have a max of .005", this was a giant pain in the ass and required some shim stock to get the factory bell within spec on my car.
Start with the parallel measurement once dialed in then move on to the radial run out keeping track of the shims and locations between the bellhousing and the block. If I had to do it all over again I'd just use the dial indicator. The Browell tool is great if your not concerned with the parallel measurement of the bellhousing face, It must be an issue if they mention it or maybe a CYA type thing for warranty.
