what do you mean clutch houseing? you mean the bell? it'll only go one way. you bleed the coolent system by having the fill point the highest point in the system so air exits there as coolent goes in and forces the air out. i usually use the bolt holes in the ends of the heads or the exhaust bolt holes as attachment points.

the metal thing with the teeth is what i mean i think the book called it clutch housing but i am not sure. also one last thing is how would i do valve lash on a 2.8 with it running? do i need to put the covers on, then fill it with oil, then remove them or someother way? also will oil really run out bad on this engine? thanks for the quick reply

clutch housing, pressure plate, whatever you wanna call it, just line it up with the holes and your good to go.
