XRV204-110 Major overhaul video

[Tycho]

Whats the secret end clearance adjustment method?

No secret, machine thrust bearing cover to adjust.

very very secret

it involves a drill press, several magnets, a flat surface and a large piece of emery paper with 240 grit

We have a Lathe, and I see myself as some kind of a master Lather... but it would take me sooooo much time to center and level the Thrust bearing cover in the lathe, and then the wonky lathe, as soon as the bit engaged the goods it would probably dig in and go *nyon* and take 1mm out where I only want6ed 0.001mm

If you watched the videos, in one of them you can see me funbling a little bit with a ring on the female bearing.

I have noticed on some overhauls that this ring looks like it has been through a "grinder" at howden, probably a planer.

I don't have one, so I use magnets to hold the ring and then I use a drill press to press that ring down onto emery paper on a flat surface.

I could have put shims between the thrust bearing cover and the body, but that is such a last resort that it makes me gag just thinking about it.
