Thanks for the response. I am talking about end play for the crank shaft. I am using a dial indicator at the end of the crankshaft. the book calls for .002 to .020. end play. It also mentions to start with the black gasket in the pack. my new gaskets measure .030 [black] and .010 [white]. I ended up using one black and two white for a total of .050. The bearings are Bower USA. the last one I did, I used aftermarket bearings and maybe two gaskets. Also I will mention the last engine I did a shop put it together for a friend of mine. no end play and it took the bearings out. So he brought it to me, when I took it apart only one gasket was used and it was obvious it needed more. the roller bearings were wiped out. you could shake the crank shaft.
