I thought I saw one of the vendors selling a set of crankshaft end-play shims. Do not know if I will actually need them, just thinking ahead for when I put the new clutch and refaced flywheel back in. Do not want to pay $15 a shim for something I may not even need.
Still removing / refinishing all the tins and cleaning up the engine compartment.
Thanks,
Mike
Resurfacing the face of the flywheel shouldn't affect end play. It is related to the mating surfaces of the crank and flywheel. If you swap flywheels, check the end play.
you need to measure this before driving. if it is out of spec, you need to re-shim and recheck before putting back on the road. When i did this 2 years ago, it was just slightly off-too much play, my mechanic stopped by my garage to double check it for me( i had borrowed his meter). he said he would not even allow me to drive it to the shop out of spec, it was that important!!! he ordered shims from FAT PERFORMANCE i am pretty sure, and we re-shimmed it, remeasured, all in spec, re-assembled and drove to 2 Octeenerfests since that about 3k miles on it with new rms clutch etc and no issues.
- the shims were expensive several hundred dollars for a handful of them, we used 3 new ones to get it into spec.
There is a max that it can be out of spec, if exceeded it should be rebuilt. Some research should get you those numbers.
