crank shaft end play, Lots of assembly lube on trust bearing (NEED ADVICE) Options

[rfinegan]

Hi World,


I added the shims to my 2056 I took out of the engine to get a base line. Same crank and shims but new bearings. So cleaned the shims and installed new Flywheel WO seal and clean shims.


tight or just right? Do I hose the lube out with brake clean( dry bearing)?

I use the feeler gauge type, I found it's just as accurate. I use two shims, measure and do the math. I then add the third shim and RMS. Don't forget the flywheel O-ring, pilot bearing, felt washer (seal) and a new large lock washer.

Once done I do one last check, so to me the lube doesn't make a difference when measuring.

Pro tip use an old lock washer when measuring your end play so the bolts don't mark the flywheel.
