Just want to double check that I am doing this correctly. I am checking my end play. The engine is assembled. I put a magnetic dial indicator mount on my flywheel and placed the point of the indicator on a parallel flange on the case. I then pulled the flywheel away from the case and took a measurement. Then pushed the flywheel into the case as much as possible and took a measurement. The difference between the two measurements is the end play. Mine was .005.
Does my technique sound correct? Am I missing anything? Is .005 acceptable? Thanks. |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I bolt mine to the case and measure the flywheel.
The acceptable range is .003 to .005 with a wear limit of .006, I always aim for .003 while taking care not to be less than that figure. |

I went outside and decided to recheck my work. I got the same numbers -.005. I then turned the flywheel about 1/8 turn and rechecked- I then got .007- WTF!!!
Obviously I am doing something wrong. Which number do I use? |
