[T2] type2 Digest, Vol 20, Issue 10

[Earthshterman]

Measure gap between engine case and trans. Has to be equal.
While slowly pushing engine towards 
Trans I would turn pulley on crank ever so slightly. Never try to force it.

I?ll then spend anywhere from half an hour to over two hours wiggling things, moving the jacks up and down, rotating the flywheel slightly, etc. until suddenly, it slides all the way together.
