If THAT'S the "witness" mark, forget it! There are dings like that all the way around the circumference of BOTH of the flywheels I have, nothing that can be noted as intentionally made either. NOTHING on the crankshaft end!
Drove it today. No vibration and spins up to 5500 like a sewing machine. Doesn't mean it won't destroy the crank bearings in time, so I'll wait till I have time to pull the tranny again to see if I can find any intelligible "witness" marks.
Crossmember still touched the trans case under accelleration (machined the side out, but not enough I guess).
