Measure the clearance between the gearbox andvalve body unit using a feeler gauge as shown.
NOTE: Measure the clearance at the point midwaybetween the two mounting bolts.
Determine the required thickness of the 32 mmshims by subtracting the clearance obtained in thestep "c" from the total thickness of the four shims.(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) =

Example:
Measurement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in):0.70 - O.28 = 0.42 mm (0.028 - 0.011 = O.Ot7 inl
The selected shims should be 0.28 mm lO.OtO in) and0.15 mm {0.006 in} in thickness.
