What To Do With a Tweaked Flex Plate?

The 426 hemi was not the only exception to the six bolt flange. Some 413s also had the eight bolt. Also, an earlier post stated that a bent flex plate can cause the converter to bottom in the crank; placing stress on the thrust main bearing; incorrect; only of the tork was pushed back against the pump could a bent flex pressure the thrust. Of course then the pump gets demolished. There is a lot of incorrect information on here; bottom line: if you disagree with me then you are way in over your head, your mechanic skills are overreached and you should sell off all your tools and buy a brand new Prius (since you must love only new stuff) and be sure to take full advantage of their extended warranty; those are always well worth money spent..
