S/S, this is what I have in my notes for the Go - No/Go foil method you mentioned:

Use a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil which is .002 thick. The regular is .001 and may be folded if that’s all you have. You want a piece as long as the bearing surface and ½ inch wide.

Lay this in the cap along with the shims and tighten it up. Now see if the motor will turn with the foil in place using a 6 inch lever in one of the crank balance holes.

Add/remove shims to obtain rotation with .001 and binding with .002.
