Thank you, guys.I also forgot to mention I stacked a few washers under each alternator stud to nudge it back towards the optimal location. This, however, has created my worst fear--trying to re-align the rotor and stator in this stupid, stupid arrangement. I'm pretty sure I have a very light rubbing going on. Best I can think (and after checking by PM with Grandpaul) is to slap some Prussian Blue on the stator and try to offset it based on any observed rubbing. This, of course, is a giant pain in the butt with all the assembly and disassembly going on to get at the primary cover. But it's easier without a gasket and fluid to deal with, so c'est la vie I suppose.Anyone have any tips on getting the alignment right? Honestly, it barely moves at all, as the cover limits the stator's ability to travel even with the nuts totally loosened, even after being spaced out from the original location deeper in the cover.
