just some thoughts ...
on the early k s there was listed a belvile type washer between the two cogs for the tensioner spring anti backlash assembly .
the suggested bmw advice papers say to chuck that washer (which makes sense that the washer would have become dished out ) and fit an appropriately measured spacer .
this new discovery between output bearing and basket ..is interesting
as alby has indicated that there is a bit of movement of that whole assembly ...after refurbishment
rick and I discovered similar when pulling a 12 rivet shaft the other weekend .
could these soft washers be a mod to the earlier than 88 ish assemblies ? we didn't find any such devices in our disassembly ....but we did see a couple of metal shims in there ...this would have been an original assembly fit up I suggest, to that particular engine.
in any case ...food for thought at least
I am intending to go in there soonish but I am seeking to have a definitive fix before I start ...or at least some more feedback before then ....
got a few bits and pieces just recently ...including a 1.75 mm washer ....for that assembly
may have to wait a bit longer I recon
