Be prepared also that the studs may throw out you thruste bearing clearance so you may have to take the bearing down a bit make sure you pay close attention to that area trust me. you will need about .006 on both sides so make sure you check.
I beleive the factory spec is .0015 end play, which is exactly where I'm at. The .006 you refer to, is that on either side of the bearing against the crank? Let me know..... I just buttoned up the lower end tonight :roll:
