OK, I finally picked up a dial indicator. So, I pulled the flywheel off and, as I expected, the guys that checked endplay for me only put one shim in.

So, I put two in per the book, torqued it down and dang! I have no play and I can't even turn the flywheel!

So, I pull one out and leave one in, .20mm reading.

My guess at this point is I need a whole new set of shims. I did some measurements and here is what I have.

Enplay with no shims - .49mm
shim 1 - .25
shim 2 - .31
shim 3 - .35

So my assumption at this point is that I need 3 shims that will not exceed .42 in total measurement. Is it safe to assume that the grease will also alter the measurement so I should look at getting 3 shims at .10, .15 and .15? This would give me an estimated measurement between .07 and .09 with grease.

Thoughts?
