xflow 1.6 flywheel issue?

[cjay2004]

hi all, i bought a 1600 xflow auto engine + box

i have now got rid of the auto box and was converting the engine to run a manual g/box....

now im having nightmares finding a flywheel...it seems the end of the crank seems to be different to all normal xflow cranks.....

just wondered if anyone else has ever encountered this issue before & if so what did u do to solve it?

heres a pic of myn....

 

heres a pic of what most xflow cranks are like....

any help will be very welcome...cheers cjay

that spacer should just knock off , spray it with some wd 40 or penetrating oil and tap it with a hammer , should fall off then your flywheel will fit , you will need to fit a crankshaft spigot bearing

I think but cant be 100%, that you still have a peace of the torque converter on the end of the crank .

your faster at typing than me v6col
