Is it necessary to shim the crankshaft on the 850 motor? there seems to be no mention of it in the workshop manual and Mick Hemmings does not mention it in his video.
I have purchased the shims to go behind the outer part of the bearing and the crankcase. If shimming is required does it matter which way the crankshaft is moved - towards the drive side or the other way? Will it affect primary chain alignment in any way?
Thanks Don
PS I was going to aim for 0.012" end play - does that sound about right?
