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.

It is related to the mating surfaces of the crank and flywheel. If you swap flywheels, check the end play. Its actually related to how much has the axial thrust bearing surfaces of the main bearings worn. If you have had an engine apart, do you remember the flat sides of the rear main bearing? left side in this photo: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.ephotomotion.com-10819-1454595048.1.jpg) |
