I am rebuilding a lower on a '81 Johnson 60hp J60ELCIA short lower. I have seen the procedure for using a gauge to check pinion height and select the correct shim. My pinion was trashed and I have replaced all gears and bearings. Because everything is new I want to measure and install the correct shim. I do not have the gauge but I have excellent measuring equipment since I am an auto tech.
I need to know the correct measurement from the bearing race to the top of the pinion gear. Can someone refer me to a chart or can someone measure the gauge? Thanks!
