Hi guys,
Maybe I got this all wrong, I thought the idea was to get the crank centered between the cases which should make the rods center to the bore? I know we are only talking talking a few thousandths here,but that was my understanding of this.
I thought I would shim behind the lip of the bush, and maybe behind the bearing, inside of the case itself?
Now I am confused here, exactly where do the shims go? Should I only use one, or many thin ones?
The only company I have found that has an NOS shim kit is Rabers, and they want $25.00 for 4 shims. I kind of use them as a benchmark for parts as far as price, if others have a shim kit for $3.00 I automatically think "junK". I am probably wrong there also?
Making the shims would be quite easy for me, and if I can make them myself, know WHAT they are made of, and save a few dollars not having to compromise with "close enough" I would be all the happier. But now I am completely confused...
