Title: Allowable crank/prop runout with a dial
Post by: Frankh on November 05, 2018, 07:14:03 PM

Curious as to what the specification of any allowable crank/prop runout might be on a 1/2 vw?

Hi Guy,
 The run out should be as small as you can get it.  one may shim the prop flange to get the tip of the prop right on the money. I would say less than 1/16 inch is good.   Leonard

Waiting for a loaner dial gauge.
