jr, As Ive said before, im no clutch or tranny guy, however, I can tell my experience and what I would do (warning, no guarantee its right), because I dont thimk we can answer the question by giving you any magic number over the net. (Maybe clooney man or Dave Wickman or M L Alyward etc., can but I sure as heck cant) Anyway, I clean out the threads in the crank, clean and wire brush the big hold in end bolt, apply very light lube or anti sieze on the bolt threads, then use an impact wrench to get a good tight fit. NOW, when done, if the disk is flush with the crank end, I agree and think?? that may be too much wear but if not (not quite flush), I think it has a better chance of holding tight. I have used steel cut shims on each spline to try and re fit one and it hasnt come loose yet, but cant really recommend that as a permanent fix. So I would say you will just have to try on and see when finished how much crank is sticking out after you tighten her down, and if theres none, thats not good enough. It will be interesting what the more knowkedgeable clutch men have to say. Good luck and keep us posted please. John T
