[wrench87]

i dont know if this is a dumb question but how do i check my bellhousing runout with my aluminum flywheel, my magnetic base will not work?. can i mount it below the centerline on the steel clutch insert but how would i set it up?.

Just use it without the flywheel...put your mag base on the crank.

It doesn't matter where you mount it on the flywheel. Here was a nice little page on how the Kirkhams do it (specifically page four): Kirkham Motorsports Assembly Manual

and here' s a nice page on it in general: Lakewood Bellhousing
