Two questions:

How much end play should you have and how to you gauge this?

I can't keep the flywheel bolts tight. How do you keep them tight?

A John Deere flywheel wrench will tighten those bolts tight enough they won't come loose.

Well, I set mine just by feel. Been doin it a few years so seems to work okay. I push the flywheel on the shaft till there is no play and then tap it out enough so I can barely feel some play and tighten it down. As to why your nuts come looose??? Don't know, mine stay tight. Is the flywheel moving on the crank, that is increasing the end play? I do have to tighten them down pretty hard with a wrench and a pipe. Probably some better ways than mine to do it.

Hi Wayne,
If you can get between the flywheel and the block use a feeler gauge. Pry out on the flywheel and measure record measurement remove pry instrument and push in on flywheel measure again subtract and you will have measurment.

I don't know how you can get between the block (case) and the flywheel. I think you have to measure endplay somewhere.

The crankshaft end play range is from .005 to .010 for a 48 A. I used a dial indicator to measure the movement. There is probably a cheaper way, but I happened to have one.
