Thanks for the help guys! Will the washer adversley affect the conrod and crank connection or the clearence between crank and the crankcase? I guess the driveplate just won't go onto the crankshaft quite as far. Thanks 1705493! I'll send you a pm.
While we're at it, is there a cheap substitute for a head gasket. Some relativley common washer? They're not on the Cox parts list, but I know I can get them from competitionma.com, I just don't really want to pay shipping--I'm cheap
