okay, update...ROSS you are on to something. i loosened up the 4 bolts i have holding the TC together for right now....wouldn't you know i can spin the reactor shaft by hand, with some force, not too bad, but it turns pretty freely.

if i tighten the 4 bolts to torque specs 20-25 ft lbs....i can't turn the shaft by hand anymore.

i await your return on Friday, unless someone else can tell me before i read my brains out trying to figure out what that means. (reactor shaft bushing not right thickness for endplay spec maybe?) if so i will need to get a dial indicator, but i don't have the Packard tool to use with it to insert in the TC. doh!

here is some misc work i did tonight. i was able to get the water pump free and spinning on the vice grip. and i put another load of bolts and nuts in the vibrator thingy. i LOVE that thing.
