[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 36718, member: 456"] The way that I check centrality of the small end eyes in the crank case bores is to use a digital vernier, rotate the flywheel assembly so that the small ends are level with the tops of the crank case bores and then push the rods away from the side to be measured and use the digital vernier to measure the distance. Repeat for the other side of the same rod and then do the same for the other rod. I cannot give you measurements as it depends upon whether you have standard liners, 90 bore or whatever. Given the four measurements you will be able to work out whether you need to put a shim between the drive side flywheel and the inner of the drive side main bearing. I helped Dick Sherwin to do this a couple of weeks ago and with the help of a 10 thou shim all measurement were the same to within about one thou. It would not be normal to get all the measurements to be so close together but his crankcase was recently trued up by Goddens. If you do need shims then the one that fits inside the gearbox on the mainshaft fits standard sized mainshafts. [/QUOTE]
