i lost a thrust berring at the begining of last year.replaced it,took it out,and could hardly get on a plane.i knew what it was so i went and bought some shims.installed them and it was alot better,but not the same(i didn't buy enough shims.took it out six or so times,knowing it wasn't perfect.now i just pulled it apart--intalled more shims--the impeller is a few thousandths from the wear ring---perfect---or---not??????
my impeller is riding just before the end of the wear ring
hear is why i am asking for any and all advice on this set up---
i have installed 4 sets of big shims--and 3 sets of small shims--seven shims per side--over all i've shimed over a 1/4 inch--more like 5/16
