135 clutch adjustment question.

[plunger]

I hope to get some advice on a clutch adjustment. I have rebuilt my 135 motor and need to install the engine. The tractor is a 1400km return trip from my house and I have limited time.I have the dual clutch and have set the gap for the pto at 1.5mm . The book suggests 2.2mm I think,however I read on a old clutch it would be better at 1.5mm. My other problem is that I have set the fingers equeal to each other but they seem real close to the clutch plate rivits. This is at the required setting using the jig.(hope I done it right). It was suggested that to get more life out of a clutch washers could be installed between the pressure plate and flywheel on the 6 bolts holding it together. I dont know if it is a misprint but they refer to 5/6 inch washers. These seem real thick. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
Also I bought a cherry picker to do this job. It feels like a scary thing to use. Does any one have any threads on actually installing an engine to make this newby mechanics job a bit easier. Thanks from sunny s africa

Can't help on the clutch adjustment. When assembling the engine I have read, cut off two longer 7/16 bolts and screw them in to the engine block to act as guide pins when mounting the engine. do not force the two halfs together with bolts. You must align the splines on both the pto and the transmission imput shafts or else you could damage the clutch discs. I believe the thread said do not install the mounting bolts until the gap between the clutch housing and engine is less than 1/4 inch. you can engage the pto lever and turn the PTO shaft from the rear and you will have to turn the engine by hand. This may be difficult, If I remember correctly you have posted before and your engine is a diesel.
