Hi once again, So i'm gonna set my water pump clearance to between .006 and .010 in. don't know how to do it? So what I did was measured my new pump gasket at .033 in. , I fabricated another gasket at .025in and will now put it together with that gasket , push the shaft in tight , set the locking ring in this position then remove the pump and gasket and install the new gasket [ .033] and I will have obtained the correct spacing. WHAT DO WE THINK?? thanks THE HOOCH
