    Idler Gear Shims

    Guys,

    My Idler Gear shim on the Generator Side does not stay on the Idler Gear Pin, it is coming off.

    Looks to be some wear on the Generator Cover where the Pin seats in and against it.

    What is the harm of going with a stainless steel shim that would be thicker than the stock version (looks to be something on the order of 1/32" or so thick)?

    My theory is that a thicker shim would not come off the Pin and float around causing problems...is this a sane theory?

    Not meaning to hijack your thread here Joe, but are you related to the Guilbeau's for whom Guilbeau Road is named after? I live down off Tezel.

      That would be correct...

        The thickness of the shims & gear & even the stator cover gasket are critical
        to proper starter operation
