Thanks, Wes. All I have is a fixed reamer. Guess I better invest in an adjustable reamer so I can hit the 0.0005 - 0.0025" clearance spec! |

You mean there is suppose to be a cover there? Actually, I was waiting for a new gasket and seal while I was fitting up the belts. You will also see that I had not yet installed the bypass hose and a ... |
