Flex Plate not flush with TC

you can check if it's bent by turning the motor over and checking the clearance at each of the 4 'ears' of the flexplate. if they're the same it's straight. there will always be a gap when the convertor is pushed all the way into the trans, often the convertor contacts the inside of the bellhousing until it's pulled forward to bolt up the flexplate. i'd bolt it up and not worry.
