Be careful in how you re-assemble the front cover stuff, especially the flat thrust washer -> it is not entirely flat. The center of the washer is beveled (angled) to match the curvature of the edge of the eccentric shaft just past the front stationary gear bearing journal. If the washer is installed backwards, it will zero out the end-to-end play on the crankshaft (it'll be super tight) and eventually tear itself apart.

Thrust Washer Pictures -- Notice the angular bevelling in the center

I can't tell from the pic, does the curve part go in facing the engine or out, facing away?

The curved part goes on the end of the crankshaft; flat part faces away. Look closely at the crankshaft; it's beveled and angled towards the front end of it just past the front stationary gear bearing journal. The thrust washer matches that.

Great thread guys, but chances are who ever built that motor installed that spacer wrong thats why you had that problem. He probably got it caught on top of the roller bearings and not under or between the bearing and the E-shaft as it should be.

like i said on the tread, it was my fault, im the one it put the spacer and i didnt knew that there was another bearing there because i was looking at the wrong picture in the hayes book. but at lease i caugt it on time and i caught the worn out stacionary gear bearing bad on time too
