mk2 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Once you have a good cover, I'd personally use the old plastigauge method of checking the bearing endfloat. I suspect that a few of the boxes were simply assembled too tight, so they go with a bit of extra force. Then once you know the clearance (if any), you could shim out the entire cover by say 0.05 or 0.1mm. It's a wierd failure mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
