Wow Guys.....these are all great suggestions! I never realized there we so many options.
And you're right GRJ.....never in my wildest....would I have thought there was such little clearance between the top of the fly wheel and the inside roof of the engine's shell. But it was well worth doing this project just from what I've learned and from all the help I received from all you guys on the forum.
You guys are the best !
