early 2.0 intermediate shaft setup
 

Hi,

Are the shims still avalible, or do you use a stackup of gaskets. What is the current proceedure on this.

What is the clearance supposed to be.

Thanks

Ed

Our host actually sells the shims. The correct procedure for setup can be found in the early factory manuals

Andrew,

Great thanks. I can not see, however, where the shims are on this site. Spent about a half an hour looking. If you could post a link I would appreciate it.

I called my local p-car dealer (Stoddard) they said that they were discontinued.

This is a race motor that I have built before. Last time I assembled it I used a stackup of several gaskets instead of shims because I was led to believe this is the current procedure since the shims have become un-avaliable.

Thanks

Ed

Hey, there they are.

So, why would I not just use a stackup of gaskets?

I think I used 3 gaskets last time.

Because gaskets compress and lose the precise nature of this measurement. Pelican has a whole variety of the shim thicknesses under the Engine heading in the new parts area - look under crankcase and related parts.

I ordered a specific shim from Henry @ Supertech. I didn't like the idea of trying to guess the crushed height.
