Fit the flywheel to the crank before
putting the crank in
the block. Use the bolts you plan to use. If they are too
long,
file them flush. Stand the crank up on the work bench with the
flywheel
down.  A nice flat file should be in every tool box.

First day in mechanist
class they give you a flat file and a
1.125 block of mild steel. Give it back
to them 1.00 and
still square. Days before CNC...

flywheels?
