Hi all,
I'm building up an 850 engine and have a couple of final points that are of concern. I'd be thankful of some help from the brains trust:
1. Crank thrust washer - Presumably to set the crank end float. I see it in the parts diagram, but not mentioned in the assembly steps and nothing in the parts bin that looks even remotely like it. (It's a BIG shim - pretty easy to spot.) End float measured with dial gauge and confirmed with vernier calipers is a whisker under 14 thou. Limit is 15 thou.
Should I be concerned?
2. Points lead sealing - Where's the seal for this cable? Can't find anything in the parts diagram or the supplied gasket /seal kit.
Is there one (grommet/seal)?
Any and all advice appreciated.
Dave.
