Got a new flywheel and want to make sure i install it correctly. There is a small lip around the center holes that goes over the crank and the center is offset as are the mounting pads where the converter bolts to the flywheel.

The GM parts guy said to install it with the center lip towards the converter and the convertor mounting pads on the flywheel protuding out towards converter. This would make the flywheel sit closer to the block. I have an old flywheel that came off another motor and it looks like it was installed the opposite way the pads the converter sit on are indented I had the current one which I tore up installed as GM recommend but now I am wondering as i do not want to have to yank the tranny again in the future.

The second is correct not all GM parts guys know their shit GM guy sounds right Also, does the flexplate "cup" over the crank? Vehicle: Ford Maverick. I have the same flexplate on my car. There is no way to install it wrong. If there is, I do not know about it and surely I would have done it wrong by now. I believe the holes on the flexplate will only line-up one way I think but as far as which way to the flexplate faces to the crank I am looking for a picture of mine.
