If this is an O-ring flywheel, then you must not use either gasket (paper or metal) between the two - just the O-ring. If this doesn't make it right, then the crank may not be the right one to mate with your O-ring flywheel. You will usually need different shims if you replace these parts, but the old ones should get you reasonably close. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
