talking to the guy i bought the motor from the other day, and he asked how many shims i had to put in the flywheel. I said..." shims?". When i bolted and torqued it 80lbs, i didnt see anything about no shims! Engine seemed to turn over by hand, alittle stiff, but turned over none the less. Could i be hurting it running w/ too much tension or something? Im planning on taking the trans back out for some parts replacement, i guess ill mic it then and check, but if its too tight could it toast the motor i guess?

according to everyone i talk to , you have to use a dial indiactor that measures endplay. Then shim accordingly, preferrably using three shims that make up the difference. I think mine already had some shims in there, the endplay felt fine by hand-used to american muscle rebuilds- and put it together. Im going to tear into it this weekend maybe, check tolerances, install new bolts, shim, lock, clutch disk and see what i got again. should be between .07 and .015mm endplay.
