Hi Folks,
just refitted my flywheel and checked the runout. I've read that the limit is 0.07mm (about 0.003 inch), my runout is 0.11mm (about 0.0044 inch). I know it is a touch over the limit, but how big a deal is it? I was completely anal about the cleanliness of the flywheel and crank mating faces, a surgeon could have operated on those surfaces. I have thread locked the new bolts and don't want to go through the trouble of taking the flywheel off again to find that there isn't any crap between the mating faces, put the flywheel back on and find out that the runout is exactly the same. Is the amount that I am over the limit important enough to worry about, or is it close enough to let it go?
Thanks,
Widge
