Just in case this interests you guys, probably most it won't but maybe for some in the same situation it may ! After all that , just wanted to say that the overhaul is going fine: already have case together (first time) , Jim , you were right it isn't that hard. Engine is a 1603cc, yes there is such a thing, CR is 7.8:1 without any shims. I set valves at 0.06", haven't set timing yet. 1. I put the flywheel on before closing the case - much easier when it is in a clamp, no, I didn't forget the oil seal. Is there a problem with this ? 2. Couldn't find the right size shims for adjusting crankshaft end play, so I used FOUR shims and play is 0.10 mm. Is this O.K. , from your experience ? 3. My book (Elfrink) says that the Clutch thrust plate should be 26mm above the flywheel ,with a wear limit of 37mm. Mine was 42mm with new linings, I now adjusted it to 30mm, O.K. ?
