Hi Guys, i cannot find much on A10 engine shimming.
I have noted that the fly wheel should be shimmed for less than 3 thou clearance in the crank case (locte shim on DE side).
Also note a similar clearance for the cam shaft, before joining the two crank halves.
So what about the timing gears. These may well float around between their bushings and this may well cause some engine noise or clatter.
I followed the 3 thuu rule and shimmed the timing gears so that they meshed evenly and do not float about.
But then this was only my best guess. ????
What do the experts out there recommend please?
