Default Manual flywheel fits on auto crank. Is this right cuz it fits pics inside
Ok. I bought an auto motor and was told you have to mill the snout down to fit manual flywheel. well last night I tried fitting the flywheel and it fits just fine. Am I missing something will the pilot bearing fit?

Are you sure the flywheel is sitting flush onto the flange?

Then it might work. You will have to try and see if a pilot bearing will fit in the center hole.

Can a different sized pilot bearing be used/found? Not that this concerns me...
