distance from the gasket surface to the crankshaft gear surface
(measurement A).

•
Measure and record the distance from the crankcase cover mating
surface to the end face of the crankshaft bearing inner race (mea-
surement B).
•
Apply these measurements on the crankshaft shim selection table,
and trace the respective line.
•
Select the next thinner shim that appears on the shim selection table.
For example, on the FE290, if measurement [A] is 14.62 mm and
measurement [B] is 16.24 mm, the correct shim thickness is t =1.38
mm.
NOTE
The FE290D camshaft has no shim adjustment.
