I decided that I should make myself a flywheel stop instead of making do without one.
 
It isnt cnc machine perfect as I made it in around an hour and a half using a cut off wheel on a grinder and some hand files.
 
I still need to drill some holes to pick up on gearbox/bellhousing bolts.
But I'll drill these once my engine is off a stand and has a flywheel attached.
 
Thought Id post this up on here incase it motivates any of us 1000 lads to do similar.
 

 
Looking forward to easier flywheel bolt torquing.

That looks amazing Neil.
Where did you buy it? was it expensive?
 
I had a quick look online before making mine and could only find a universal one for $130.

Im being a cheapskate by building something I know I can buy easily enough.

Im a little jealous of your flywheel tool Neil.
Getting it for well under $100 makes it a viable spend.
 
But I'm still happy with how my DIY one has come out.
Sure beats jamming things up with a big old random bolt between the flywheel teth and a bellhousing bolt, or using a single arm from a 3 jaw gear puller.
 
Ive done both. They work but are not straight foward.
There is always some element of "house of cards" with either dodgy technique.
