MIKE same transmission, put a new flex plate on it. new front pump seal,this motor has zero miles on it,i only have been cranking it and letting it run it the shop.he told me even though the gauge was showing zero oil pressure, my motor was not rattling so i must have some oil pressure.he also said that maybe the torque converter is hitting inside the pilot bushing hole.i checked the crankshaft end play when i built it ,it was .005, i just don't see how the transmission is the problem.could the new flex plate be weak??
