Thanks all that posted. I messed up the back plate gasket and all 3 shims. I was torquing the bolts. The manual says 35 foot pounds. I got to 25 foot pounds and thought that the bolts would break if I went tighter. Looked at the manual again and got mixed up and thought it said inch pounds. Gap between the bearing and crank was .003. Thought I had really over tightened them. Took the bolts out and removed the crank. I don't know why I removed the crank. Gasket and shims got torn in the process. Going to order gasket and shims today, but the manual shows one .010 shim. Should I order one gasket and 2 .010 shims? Guess I was just too nervous and over thinking every thing. I will get this engine together with the help of the forum members. Just a little set back. Have a great day.
Bob
