I should also verify that you did this with NO gasket (paper or metal)
between
the flywheel and crank. Those are not used with the O-ring crank. If you put
one in, that would explain the 4th shim. >>
I thought you were only allowed to use 3 shims (it creates a torington
bearing), and adding a 4th shim creates a spacer. You might have to purchase some
thicker shims to get the end play correct. I know VW made them in varying
thicknesses, as I've got some here that are marked 24, 28, 32, and 36. Just a
thought.
