Crank to flywheel dowel pin

New pins go in pretty tight. T is probably about right. I might have a new one at home I'll measure and post if I can remember to. Make sure that you Loctite the bolts in the crank and go like 105 ft*bs on them. Use Loctite sparingly and rub it into the threads. If you goop it on it comes up and gets between the crank/flywheel, and eventually wears away. When that happens you loose the clamp load on the flywheel and sh** goes downhill fast.
Exactly. You don't need a lot for those things to get super stuck. I had to get them real hot with propane to break them loose when I originally took it apart after the clutch swap I did 2 years ago. I just put a few dabs on one and roll the threads with another till there is a light coat on the first half of the threads on each.
I'd be interested to know what the OD of the real deal is.

In summary, I should have had the real thing ready to go but this is my first engine swap so hard to predict. When you consider the cost of replacement, it is much cheaper than butchering one of my really nice drill bits (the T size was brand new).
