Default Flywheel to converter gap with 6.0 Swap

Guys,

Putting the engine and tranny back together and noticed I have ~3/16 gap between the flywheel and converter without the two bolted up. I took the flywheel fom my 4.8 and swapped it into this 07 LQ4. I took a look at the flywheel that came on the LQ4 and noticed it had a 3/8 "spacer" on the engine side, so I'm fairly sure that would not have worked with mt 4L60E. I just want to make sure that gap is ok before I go and close the gap by bolting that up.

Thanks,
Andrew

I had the same problem. Just used a couple of washers to fill the space. Never had any trouble in 60k plus miles.

Per Yanks website, gap should be no more than 5/16 of an inch, use spacers as needed.

ok...3/16 sounds like less than 5/16 to me
