I think he may be speaking of the amount of end play left after you finish shimming the end bell. Kit reccomendations are for .2-.5mm I believe.
I started with the .5mm, but didn't like it so I added a gold shim (the thinnest kit supplied shim) and that took remove all but the slightest movement. But since I also shimmed mine behind the clutch bell bearing (unlike what the instructions call for) I don't have to worry about clutch drag even with only a .2-.3mm gap.
I still can't figure out why HPI left out key details like shimming behind the clutch bell and the fact that their thrust bearing actually has a direction it needs to be inserted in. Thank goodness we have message boards to save us from oversights like those in instruction manuals!
