Greetings,

.001 to.002 is correct. But make sure you spin the crank by hand and feel if you have any binding. If you do, you have a problem. I prefer to go on the tigher side to start and let my fingers tell me.
Having said that, even if you set it at .002, the end play will end up where ever the engine feels comfortable. It may go to .003 or even more. You are far better off with loose than tight with these engines.
I guarentee that it will open up within about 500 miles.

Rob

You may want to check with Rob Olsen, but .002 is what comes to mind. Can't remember if that was Rob's recommendation when my motor was built, or if we got that from a hen bulletin.

Hello , what is the correct end play on Henderson motors ?? would there be any difference on early motors or would all "fours" be the same ? Thanks , Ken
