HTH,

P.
What spacer plates???? Only thing I've ever seen resembling a spacer plate was on a phase II engine and it had about a jillion countersink screws bolting it to the back of the block like a scattershield. Are you referring to the dust shield at the front lower part of the bellhousing, held on by 4, 10mm bolts?
