Re: Adjusting the flywheel housing
The proper thing to do is to remove the flywheel housing and have it machined. But before you do that use your dial indicator to see if there is any runout on the rear of the engine were the housing mates. I gave up on an engine where the crankshaft was not square with the cylinder bores. It went in the junk pile.
The shims at the top where the throttle linkage mounts is used to compensate for the thickness of the gasket. No gasket, no shims. But the gasket is really important to control oil leakage.
