Is there anything between the flywheel and crank or us it just metal to metal? I know there's a gasket between the flywheel and tranny

Thanks. I took the flywheel off the motor 18 months ago and don't remember a gasket between the two. Do you know if it's cork? I bought a engine gasket set and wonder if it's in there. Or I could make one. It says that there are washers on the bolts to the crank. I put all the hardware in a baggie and labeled it. There were just bolts in it, no washers

It says that there are washers on the bolts to the crank.

Check the PARTS LIST again. Lock washers only on cover to flywheel.

As for the gasket, check with the URL I posted.

I see my error on washers. Does anyone know if the flywheel to crank gasket can be made from cork? I have some and they want over $30 for the gasket with shipping. I'd rather make one for basically free. Does thickness matter?

I see that there is something numbered 2377 on the diagram but I don't know what it is. Charlie from your link doesn't know either. Trying to confirm what exactly it is

I see 6377,which is the gasket being discussed, but no 2377 ...

Typo. 6377. Charlie doesn't seem to have that and doesn't know what it's supposed to be. I contacted him. No luck on internet search for part number either.

Crankshaft to flywheel/flexplate does not have anything between them.  If it did, there would be a vibration/wobble as it deformed with age.  Joe-JDC

Thx Joe. Looking at the diagram above, it does show, to the far left, 6377-A which is labled as a gasket on the parts list under the diagram. I do not remember taking anything off when I took the flywheel off but the engine went to the rebuilder after so if there was a gasket stuck to the end of the crank I wouldn't have known. I do have a call into him to see what he knows. If that part wasn't on the diagram I would feel better putting it together without anything in between. Your case definitely holds merit about the wobble.
