Ok. Measured the case end play clearance and with the feeler gage I am showing slightly greater than the upper limit of .042 at .045 so it looks like I will be waiting for my dial indicator to get here so I can confirm this issue. If I do end up having too much gap I have to option of obtaining different thicknesses of no.1 and no.2 thrust washers for a fix which leads me to a few questions.
1. Are the thrush washers considered a wear item in these units? If not, what component is wearing and causing this out of limits gap.
2. If the thrust washer is a wear item, should I try and get the specs for my current washers and mic them to confirm they are worn down?
3. If I go get new thrust washers, what combination should I purchase? Do they come in a matched set based on thickness or am I piece mealing this to get my own desired thickness? If piecemeal, should I go for a no.1 that is thicker than the no.2 or vice-versa?
4. What thickness washer or better yet what end play do I want to try and achieve. There is a lot of limit in here .008-.042.
