To test the function, I got out the trunk lid pin.

While in the mood to play with locks, I got out the door handles. Besides broken mounting tabs, the PO sanded these before painting them black.

Again, step 1 was to remove the lock cylinder. This one might need some cleaning.

Although these are the original locks and keys, one pin is not aligned. Time for some filing.

And then more filing. To start, the small end of the cylinder was too big to enter the hole at the back of the handle (shown here trying to fit it from the back side).
So I filed a bit inside the small hole section. Attached thumbnail(s) |

But the cylinder will still not fit into the handle. Anyone see this problem before?

While I try to figure out what to do with the door handles, I went back to engine work.
I got new shims for setting the crankshaft axial play. Attached thumbnail(s) |

With the thinner new shim (plus two of the originals) in place dry, I mounted the flywheel and snugged up the old bolts.

After spinning the crank a few times, I mounted the dial indicator, pulled the flywheel out, and zeroed the indicator.

After shoving the flywheel in (and feeling a slight shift), the indicator reads .0035 inch--just right. I repeated this a few times, and got the same result.

I pulled the flywheel off, and coated all the shims with assembly lube.

I put the shims back in, cleaned the recess for the seal, and gave it a thin smear of gasket compound.
