Flywheel/Driveplate Indexing

Unread post by zamp1 »

Have 97 TJ with 4 cyl. 2.5. Engine has been rebuilt and I'm getting ready to put in. My problem is the mark that I put on flywheel/driveplate has been cleaned off. With the engine at TDC I don't know were the flywheel should be bolted on. Haynes repair manual tells you to position the driveplate correctly so that the trigger wheel portion sends the correct timing signal, but they don't show you how to position it. Does Anyone know where I can find that info? :confusion-helpsos:

The flywheel only goes on one way. The bolt pattern is slightly irregular to avoid such a situation.
