Default Bellhousing Alignment, i think i finally got it

Well, hour 15 on the bellhousing alignment and i think i finally have it lined up correctly. BTW, everybody that says the offset dowels are a PITA is correct. I will never use them again unless the bellhousing is vintage and should not be drilled!!!

At 12 o clock= 0
At 9 o clock= -.010
At 6 o clock= 0
At 3 o clock= +.006

So, if my thinking is correct, TIR= .004 from left to right, correct?? And that is acceptable because it is less than .005??? Right??? And the offset is .002
Thanks

Excessive amount of pictures

How I installed the magnetic base=took two of the flywheel bolts out. The rest are in place the the flywheel is flush to the crank.





Indicator stays nice and centered in the ring the entire 360









At 6 o clock



At 3 o clock



Could not get a picture at 9 or 6 due to the direction the dial indicator was facing. I had to lie down on the floor to read it at those positions.
