I finished building my engine, which uses a 2.0 crank in a 1.7 case.
My crank end play is 0.0125 without any shims. I've seen that you should use a minimum of 3 shims, but even a single smallest shim puts me at the edge of spec - 0.0125 - .00945 = 0.003. Is this OK? Did I do something wrong assembling? |

The shims are available in a range of sizes. You'll need to calculate which thicknesses are needed to arrive a total end play of .003 - .005. Remember this is expressed in thousandths of an inch. It's confusing because the shims are sold by the dimension in mm. It's best to order a variety so you have them on hand when you're sorting it all out. You can always return the unused ones. They're not expensive regardless.
