Bellhousing Alignment

You might not think the bellhousing could be such a culprit, but if not aligned properly, several problems can emerge. Pilot bearing wear, main shaft bearing wear, hard shifting, and in extreme cases, breakage of transmission ears and cases.

Lakewood industries, a manufacturer of race bellhousings, recommends checking for register bore runout any time any housing is installed. With Lakewood's offset dowel pins, you can ensure correct bellhousing installation.
