I just put my case halves together and after I got everything torqued down I checked the crank and it it spins free.
However the end play seems a little excessive. Haven't measured it yet but guess is it is atleast .125" Is this due to the distributor drive not being installed yet and/or the flywheel not installed yet either? Just nervous as this is the first time at building one up. |

Flywheel has to be installed, you adjust the shims between the flywheel and the crank until you get end play of 0.003-0.005" or do math, install only the two thicker shims and figure out what size to put in to bring you to 0.003-0.005, then reinstall and measure |

At this point you should have 2 shims (to measure end play, no seal in yet) and flywheel temporarily in place.

I just put in my first rebuild too. I decided whattheheck, just put the three shims/spacers in that came off on the tear down and see how close that is, nothingtolose since if you start with the two shims you usually have to add a third anyway. ...Dial indicator showed it was right at .004. I got lucky.
You're right, there sure is a lot of slop before you put the flywheel on. I'll try to start it this week. Good luck on yours. |
