Make sure you install the rms correctly, torq the flywheel bolt to spec, install the pilot bearing correctly, use the alignment tool, and go from there.
you will have to cut a little bit in your tunnel but no big deal, instead of using a cutting wheel i use a hole saw it make the job easier and cleaner.
Don't over tq the flywheel bolt because they break and i broke one in the past.

I got the spline to sit in the pilot bearing i believe, cause when i tilt the transmission the engine tilts as well. i just can't fully sit it in; theres about a inch and a half left..
@ quicksc4 - i installed everything correctly, its just not slipping in!! ugh, how annoying

Started up on the first try. It was too late to keep the car running i'll try again tomorrow morning.
My mind/body is fried from working nonstop for the past 3 days so don't mind my excitement for it starting on the first try.
