Does this sound like a cracked flex plate to you?

The shiney outside ring adjacent to the Green/yellow line: is this where the oil pump bolts are hitting the convertor? Gonna need a pump too.
I found drinking heavily helps to reduce sticker shock when paying the bill.
Have someone else drive as drivers that drink and cry are more dangerous than women drivers sober...

but,what caused the bolts to hit the back of the converter ? your engine have the funny (thicker)flywheel flange ? or wrong flexplate ? should have about 1/8 or so clearance from flexplate to converter before you bolt it up. or was it the wrong model converter ?

Here is a picture from a different angle after I cleaned off the fluid.

Now that you showed the tq at a different angle things appear differently. My reference is at the smooth area where the grey paint meets the green. Your first pic appeared the bolts may have buffed the converter. Now I see the shiny ring I spoke of earlier was reflection from your flash.
