Thanks. I'm actually up to 3 shims just forward of the flywheel nut and 4 shims forward of the clutch bell. I can only get the screw "barely snug" before the CB will lock against the flywheel.

I'm going to add another shim on the front of the CB and then "snug" the screw until there is a tiny bit of friction between the two (CB and flywheel). I'll hold it all together w/ Loc-tite.

Thanks for the help.
