ADJUSTMENT/TESTING
Flywheel End Play
Before completely disassembling crankcases, check flywheel
end play.
1.
After engine has been removed from chassis, securely
fasten it to a stand or workbench.
2.
Remove gearcase cover. See
3.16 GEARCASE COVER
AND CAM GEARS
.
3.
See
Figure 3-75.
Attach a dial indicator to gear side
crankcase with indicator stem on end of gearshaft.
4.
To obtain an accurate flywheel end play reading, preload
sprocket shaft bearings. Create a suitable tool by weld-
ing two handles to an old engine sprocket nut. Install the
nut and sprocket. Tighten to 190-210 ft-lbs (258-285
Nm).
5.
Check flywheel end play.

dial indicator.
b.
Then rotate and
pull
on sprocket shaft while reading
dial indicator.
c.
Replace bearing inner shim (See
Figure 3-78.
) if dif-
ference (end play) in indicator readings is not 0.001-
0.005 in. (0.025-0.127 mm). Choose shim from
Table 3-11.
NOTE
Use a thinner shim for less end play; use a thicker shim for
more end play.
