[QUOTE="mr scoops, post: 590184, member: 14100"] I am building a complete new Type 1 engine for my Early Bay. New crank, new flywheel, new pulley, new case, new bearings....... you get the idea. So. I've measured the endplay with the flywheel torqued up. I have 1.41mm total end play. Should be 0.07 to 0.13mm if I'm right in thinking. Aiming for mid tolerance (0.10mm) so I need to get to 1.31mm. However, you need to get to the number using 3 shims. Max thickness is 0.36mm, so three of these gives me 1.08mm, leaving .23mm. It has been suggested that I use 4 shims. Advice needed. [/QUOTE]
