Hi guys, I’m just in the process of rebuilding my ALH ( with NEW parts ) and need some assistance with endplay numbers
With the mains caps all torqued to 48 ft-lbs I cannot get the suggested end play as per the Bentley. The most I can achieve is .02mm
If I take the #3 main cap off and perform the test again I get .10mm - which of course is perfect
So this leads me to believe that I have an issue with the two thrust bearings on the cap end.
It was suggested that I sand down the front thrust bearing ( on both sides) down a few thou and perform the test again
So... I was hoping some tdi engine rebuilders could throw in some suggestions. Should I just do the one bearing, both , flatten down the tang???
