How do you 'bend' a casting?
3/32 is crack-time.

My thought would be that since the crank, input shaft, trans output, and
pinion shaft are all supposed to be parallel, and they should all also be
normal to the case faces, that the bellhousing sides should be parallel
too.--Bryan =======================================
Smitty says ; had a friend several years ago that was experiencing about the
same problems.  Doing all the measurements he found that the bellhousing was
indeed bent.  Not up or down as you would expect, but to one side about 3/32
of an inch.  Being a machinist engineer his "simple" solution was to make a
curved tapered shim to bring things into alignment.  Really not that hard to
check when the bellhousing is free of the engine, but if you go that far,
why not change it.
