Title: endplay setting Post by: nicolas on December 08, 2010, 13:32:58 pm sorry for this inquiery, but it has confused me for some time now. what is the correct setting of your endplay on a crank? is there a difference between a standard engine and one that has bigger crank,... and will turn at more RPMS?
standard vw manual states 0.0025 (some say 0.0027) to 0.005 inch with a 0.006 max (0.065 (0.067) - 0.15 mm) KS interchange manual advices use a larger setting as much as 0.010 inch (0.25 mm) OK i understand that, but what is needed for a street and strip engine? i just want to make sure the engine doesn't eat the shims or gets stuck on a bearing.

Remember to deburr new shims and used shims should be avoided if the have any signs of wear. Keep parts very clean and use a dial indicator. /Rolf Boxer Service |
