There was only one item that could have caused it; the first whasher/shim
that is made of white metal and has a tab that's bent into the block to stay
in place.  Now, that shim has turned out of position and the size of that
tab got added to the shims total size big time, making the total more than
double, thus getting the whole thing tightened up when the flywheel was
added.
No harm done though.
It was just making the job twice.  My fault, of course.
Everything is well now.
Thanks for the List for the immediate help.

My regards to all of you.
Zoltan

Boston Bob did a great video on this with, I think, Jim Akiba.
Top of the 2nd page of thesamba thread is the link.
He covers this exact issue in detail.
