More excitement.....assembled the countershaft, all new nos parts and behold none of the three lock rings will fit (.128" / .132" / .138" ) got out the measuring tools and the stack up leaves only .118" . I've checked and re-checked the assembly and no gaps, no debris. I just dis-assembled enough to remove the countershaft drive gear and spacer. Off to the machine shop I go. Going to remove.012 from the overall length of the spacer which measures .875" .
Doing is learning.....
Anyone else ever run into this problem? Suppose its just the stackup of the manufacturing tolerances on the individual components.
