Wasn't a concern with the crank repair.
Found the convertor snout was bottoming out in the crankshaft.
The mounting lugs were .015 away from the flex plate.
Changed convertors & never had the problem again.
I have been through exactly those issues before as well.

I try to maintain at least 060 on flexplate to pads.
i really think the two steps on the start are not helping matters!
