Splash Guard ZZ4 Flywheel

[Bill75]

I'm probably calling this wrong sorry, but the flywheel guard I took off my old motor doesn't seem to fit the crankshaft radius right, the new engine is bigger and this guard won't fit up inside. I searched the archives and couldn't locate anything about it. There must be a different p/n for this engine, anyone run across this before??

Edit: Looks like maybe trimming back the two ears and grinding the radius a little might make it fit. I hate to do that though!

And the answer is.........Get out the tin snips and trim back the radius. I just used a pencil to draw a guide line about 1/2" in from the existing edge and cut along the line with a good pair of snips. The two tabs can be cut about in half then reformed to catch against the oilpan.
Thanks to forum member theandies for the help!

Its because the zz4 has a 1 piece rear main seal.Same reason my clutch inspection cover wont fit on my crate motor.
