[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 154797, member: 3426"] Hard to measure the spacer accurately given its location. My verniers won’t fit in there with the flywheels in the way. If I squeeze the rods together and slip in a new spacer as a gauge my guess is that they are within about .001” of each other and the one I used as a gauge measures 0.2730”. I installed the crank as you suggested and put the timing side case on with the small roller to keep the crank centred. I measured the gap between the rod and piston the same way as before. Pushing the rod all the way to the right and then measuring the gap on the left with feeler gauges. Then vice versa. I definitely got different numbers this time, but part of that was because the scroll was .0065” thinner this time. Now the numbers indicate the front rod needs to go .00525 towards the drive side and the rear rod needs to go .008 towards the timing side. So directions are the same, just less movement required. Splitting the difference at this point seems redundant. Measuring these things accurately seems a bit of a crap shoot…. [/QUOTE]
