[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 612771, member: 483"] I got my converter back and was able to start fitting it up. For lack of time to go into detail about how I found all this out, these were the results after all day of trying to figure out why it wouldn't fit: - Oil pump flats were too wide to fit oil pump, had to be filed down. - Pilot dowel was too large to fit in crank, had to be sanded down. - Bolt pattern was off, had to drill my flexplate out. - Mounting pads are not flat relative to eachother, slightly off. I don't know how important this is. Very minute. - Mounting pads too long by about .3 - .5" by my estimation. The converter is definitely going to have to go back again. I'm not sure how angry about this I should be yet. It is an extremely custom converter yet basic generic details were off. It will probably depend on their reaction / treatment when I call them tomorrow. In the process of doing all this I think I may have found that I installed my oil pump gear backwards. Where the converter goes into it, one side is relatively flat and the other is much more beveled, I assume to give the converter snout more of a ramp to mesh properly. I flipped it around but in so doing lost ALL of my shaft end play. I'm trying to wrap my head around why this affects end play. Maybe it is why I had too much to begin with and now I have to go back in and remove that extra shim I put in before? Very disappointed in this and would appreciate if someone was able to tell me for sure which way the oil pump gear goes in and / or how it affects end play. [/QUOTE]
