Morning update on the gasser.
Front cover is assembled and clearances are set. Gears stick out of the case .006-.007” selected a gasket that I measured at .009. Meaning loose I’ll have clearances at .002-.003. I’d prefer it a touch tighter but it’ll work fine this way. I’ve had issues when I ran around .005-.006 because with heat those clearances open up.

Blower is also mostly assembled. I used the factory shims behind the drive gear and after assembly my rotor to rotor clearance is .009-.010. Some say it should be tighter but I’m not trying to make 20psi out of it. Rotor to bottom case clearance is .005-.006 which is perfect. Of course I lost my front cover gasket so I need to order a new one.
