Hi all,

After some advice on crankshaft endfloat if any of you chaps wouldn't mind helping.

Just fitted the crankshaft with new standard thrusts and found the endfloat to be 0.007" so have now ordered a set of 0.003" thrust washers.

My question is, do I fit 1 side of oversized to leave me with 0.004" endfloat or both to give me 0.001"?

I was thinking of fitting both and using wet and dry on the backs of the thrusts to get 0.002" clearance.

What are peoples thoughts?

Cheers,

Use one side, leaving 0.004 clearance.

Use one side, leaving 0.004 clearance.

 

..out of interest; would you use the thicker set on the side the clutch pressure works against or does it not matter ?

Wouldn't matter, it's only 0.003 won't really alter anything else. Check crank/cam sprocket alignment.

thanks.  good point on the crank/cam sprocket alignment

Thank you, much appreciated! Will stick with one side only.
