Thanks everyone for helping me ID the screw in my oil pan!
I just tightened up the cap on my rear bearing after installing new thrust
washers and took my measurements. The thrust washers that I just installed
give me .004" float at the crank. This is a repeatable measurement. I have
turned the crank around a couple of times between measurements and still
wind up with .004".
I am wondering if this (.004") is enough play that I should be able to feel
a 'clunk' or not. I don't feel a clunk like I did when the old thrust
washers were in place. Perhaps I am prying too hard on the pulley to get
this measurement? The crank bounces back a few thousandths when I release
the pressure on the pulley. Of course I am measuring the end float once I
have removed the prybar from between the cross tube and the pulley.
One other thing: The thrust washers that I pulled out were each .004"
thinner (total .008") than the ones that I installed. My endfloat before
installation was .013". Since .013 - .008 = .006 where is the other .002"
going? Could this difference be caused by the assembly lube that I used when
I installed the thrust washers?
I've seen most of the articles in the archives on thrust washers, but didn't
see these questions answered.
Thanks again,
Don
