Hi all,
Tonight I tried checking end play. Not sure if I'm doing it right and if my readings are good / bad. Engine has not been apart, flywheel has been refaced. I put flywheel on with 3 bolts, no grease seal, torqued to 40 ft lbs. Mounted gauge as shown. Took measurements at 3 points after rotating flywheel, all readings pretty consistent. Returns to zero when I pry in the other direction. Note that the gauge reading is going in reverse so it is actually reading approx 3 one thousandths.   |

Thanks. Just re-positioned the gauge so that the contact point is closer to center of flywheel. Took some more readings. Pretty consistent. Whereas earlier readings were just to the low side of 3 one thousands, new readings are just to the high side.

Just to be clear: this is after you measured end-play with no shims, and have installed the shim pack right?
Cuz .003 with no shims would make me worry. |

Good to go, don't forget the new flywheel Oring and you should install a new pilot bearing and fuzzy washer.
