I had my son stand by the flywheel (yes STAND by it, lifts are da bomb!) While I turned the crank via ratchet (yes, ratchet, no more breaker bars!) and listen and watch, nothing apparent in flywheel, I believe it really had a little hang up in the bores.
I was surprised by how much ATF was still showing on my paper towel dip sticks dipped into the bores. It seemed to just keep soaking it up!
