flexplate

[Heath]

I need a flexplate for a internally balanced engine. I think the crank is a cat crank. The machine shop ordered one called THE WHEEL but the bolt pattern on the crank does not match. Any suggestions?

Try turning flywheel aligning it to different holes. Some are hole specific.

He's right, it will only fit ONE way. If it don't I'd say the got the wrong one.

I tried turning it till it lined up. Did not work.It must be stock replacement they sent me.

The "wheel" has to be chamfered just a little to fit a stock bolt pattern. Remember, just a little.
If you are not comfortable, sell it to me.

ps: I've bought these new from 'DLS' and the bolt holes are chamfered just a very little bit.

u better make sure what is in the motor first. i think is not good enough? the wrong plate will not be good

I've put a JW Wheel on three different motors. All of them needed a minor amount of clearancing. It's best to do it before you have the motor balanced, but not a deal breaker if that's already been done.
The stock motor is externally balanced so it will be obvious if it's for a stock crank.
