Brief Description: Continue AeroVee Engine Assembly

Install F01-08 Flywheel Assembly on crankshaft.
Measure end gap, which is .063" to .068".
Calculate shim stack height by subtracting .006" from the gap, which results in shim stack of .057" to .062". Per Sonex tech support I need not use a feeler gauge (despite the assembly instructions specifically saying to use a feeler gauge), buit a dial indicator instead. If I use the feeler gauge I should use the smallest end gap measurement, which is .063", and shim for the minimum allowable end play of .003". This will be difficult, since the provided shims only stack up to .053". I will have to obtain another shim, look for .004" to .007" shim stock? I have already fabricated a .006" shim, this will result in .004" end play. I will go with this set up, then measre end play with a dial indicator after assembly and adjust if necessary.
