Is it right to adjust clearances by adjusting gasket size between bed plate and crankcase.
Increasing gasket size reduces H.P clearance and increases L.P clearance.

In reply to sachin kumar. You are right that the clearance will increase. The manual specifies the limit for this and it will depend on the manufacturer. If the clearance is too much then of course we need to put oversize bearing which is also specified by the manufacturer.

As written above, fr adjusting the bumping clearance put a shims to the bottom bearing. By putting a shims it will hamper our bearing lubrication, as the clearances will be different from previous one. So how to manage the lubrication?
