We all know, well almost all, what that means.
This engine is a true disaster and the owner is NOT making anything better...
BTW, there was nothing wrong with the flexplate, shim or reinforcement ring. And, ALL original Pontiac flexplate shims have 2 oval elongated holes.
Just torque it 95 lb/ft and it will NOT move (or make noises).

You can see that in the photos that I posted, my roommate felt, with his hands, each and every Rod and has determined that the Rods are orientated correctly. Flat to Flat and rounds to rounds?
