I just phoned around to the local hardware stores, and they don't even have graded washers, so I'm just going to put on regular ones anyway. I just checked the rear clearance, and it's 3 thousands, which I understand is just within the tolerances. I really don't feel like adjusting the rest of the bearings, so I think I'll just leave them alone. I know that's probably not the best, but the rings occasionally let out blue smoke while going downhill. And I did fins about five drops of coolant in the clutch area, Which I presume is from that rear frost plug, as per your pictures and experiences. I have a spare 216 that I was going to rebuild next winter, after I build a garage this summer. I'm on the fence about adjusting the mains though. I mean it is the right thing do now that the pan is off. Right now there appears to be a two thousands shim on both sides of each of the mains. I suppose I should recheck it with one removed. I guess I'll think about it while I go and get the washers....
