Additional spacer washer on clutch fork pivot ball?, How much to add when have flywheel cut?? Options

[jjs3rd914]

About to reinstall engine and the original flywheel was

cut 0.025".

The as found spacer washer under the clutch fork pivot ball

is 0.060" thick.

This 0.060" thickness was also found on 2 other 914 transmission we have, so we are assuming this was the standard factory washer thickness used with a new uncut flywheel.

Searching seems to indicate that an additional washer of 0.025" needs to be added to the 0.060" washer under the pivot ball to maintain the geometry.

Can we get confirmation that this is correct. If not then what if anything is to be done to compensate for the flywheel being cut?

Also have others found the original washer was indeed 0.060"

Thanks

No need for such precision. Add up to two regular washers. If that does not solve it, then your flywheel is done. There is a washer in all of them stock, #3 in the PET file.
