[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 120601, member: 1632"] Bruce, My guess as to how he knows what the right clearance is, is that if you look at the crank before he breaks it up, the pin is flush on the outside to both flywheels. Before breaking up the flywheel use a feeler gauge measure up he total gap between the con rod big end and divide by 2. That's the gap between the flywheels on each side of the con rod. Or once apart measure the thickness of the con rod and the two flywheels, subtract that from the overall length of the crank pin. That's the total clearance. Add half of that and the the thickness of the con rod to the current crank pin and you have the length of the double crank pin, assuming that it is flush on the outside of both flywheels and the clearance between the two rods is the same as the clearance the single rod and flywheels.
