●
To find shim thickness “A”, use following
formula:
Where:
a = a numeral (usually a decimal number)
on the bearing housing is either added
to or subtracted from “4.5”.
b = 15.0
c = drive pinion gear to driven pinion gear
center distance (considered constant
“55”).
d = a numeral (usually a decimal number)
on the right crankcase specifies a
thickness of “75”.
