To anybody rebuilding a jeep engine.

2 points: 1) make sure you mount the flywheel on the crankshaft BEFORE
you install the crankshaft in the jeep.

2) If you forget the above, AND forgot to install the bolts that hold it
on, remove the rear main bearing, and you can turn the crank to install
the bolts. I also noticed that you COULD change the rear main seals at
the same time with little further trouble.

This hobby is certainly a learning experience as I noticed the above
situation only after installing the engine in the jeep. This made for
another 3 hours of learning yesterday!

Keep 'em rolling!
