Okay,  I've located the O-ring in the flywheel.  It looks sort of smeared out.  Will definitely replace.

But there is for sure only one shim and the thickness of it is not written on it (but Bentley said
it ought to be.

Now, where do I get a tool to check end play and where do I get the proper shims?
