I am coming up w/ .034 clearance between the diff bearing and the case. And the smallest shim that I have found Honda to make is .039
There is .000 gap between where the bearings are pressed/sit against the diff. So they are pressed all the way on. So from anyone who has had this same problem, any suggestions on what I can use for a .030 shim? I probably will just have one made but I just thought I would ask. This is the second one out of 7 that I have installed to have this same issue. The last one I found a solution for. This one I'll leave up to you guys.

you can take the thinnest shim and grind it down a little to get the proper clearance.

i also remember someone using a used oil control ring from a old used piston to get the proper clearence......

 

Yeah I already considered the oil ring idea. A good freind of mine is a machinest. He said he has it covered for me. I just thought I would try asking around first. Thanks though.
