Hi Everybody,
I´m just trying to rebuild a 350cc Bullet engine out of a basket case of 70s parts.
While checking all the parts I struggled about different crankshaft distance washers.
Can anybody tell me if I need the thin or the thick ones for a 350cc engine?
Thanks,

Do you mean the thrust washers either side of the big end and the flywheels? If so it should be easy to work out, the big end journal is a straight sided press fit into the flywheels, if you measure the distance between the shoulder of the pin and the bearing cage then divide by two, you have your answer. A small free play allowance (say 5 thou total) should be factored in.
