While you guys are on the subject of crankshaft end play shims, I
didn't know there were any. Might this relate to my problem of a
screeching noise during engine braking at 2800 RPM ??

----------------------------------------------------
"I went to a semi-local repair shop to have them set
the end-play of my crank.  The only problem is that
one of the shims was split due to a previous engine
mis-assembly of the outer thrust washer.  I just found
out that they re-used that shim.
The shim is split about 1.5" around 1/3 of the way in
from the outermost edge.  It doesn't lie flat, and
that split is bent over by a couple material
thicknesses."

"Is this a part that needs to be replaced?  The shop
specializes is vw busses, and i don't, but this seems
wrong to me."

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
