RE: [T3] End Play...


Some more information from last night.....

I checked the endplay with two shims as per Bentley and got .020".  This is with  .0142" and .0126" shims installed.  By my calculations, I need to install three (3) shims that are .0142" thick to get the endplay to be .004" which is right in the middle of the spec.  Sound right?

I am assuming I should not install more than 3 shims.

On a related subject.  I did not have an o-ring between the flywheel and the crank when I disassembled everything.  How do I know for sure if I should have one or not.  According to my RMMW catalog (I know, not the most reliable source) all 62-73 Type 3 had o-ringed flywheels.  Or at least that is what they sell as replacements.  Also, they list separate shims for o-ring and non-o-ring flywheels.  Are they really different?

Thanks,
