Re: 85 250r crank shim

Thanks MotorGeek!!
Funny I was thinking along those lines like maybe i could press the crank but that is a bit more than i can do at home, even though I have a press. Bumping a crank a few thousands could be difficult to control and what if i went too far.
Only wish the shop we sent the crank and sleeve to would have known what you told me. >:(
So at this point I am waiting for a shims from McMaster according to my calculations a .015 shim will get me at .009 clearance.  The factory service manual I have shows the clearance should be .006 to .008.  My only concern is the new shim will be 30mm id x 42mm od and the old shim is 30mm id x 40mm od. 
I am slightly concerned that the bigger od could interfere with the bearing lubrication. 
I am getting a pack of 10 shims so I have extras to play around with.
I feel pretty confident the lareger od will not cause a problem.
thanks for your input.
 Feeling better about this all the time!
