Eww, teflon stuffed? I hope you ordered some different shims too. Both of the ones I've installed plus most of the other people who I have heard talk about them have needed to re-shim.

i can get shims, no issue there. of the ones in stock, it was that, or the DMP unstuffed with no oiler hole. or the metrakit crank that takes the funky bearing no one can find.

Word of warning, if you get studs from treats, do NOT get the regular ones. They strip like crazy. I've stripped 7 of the 8 treats studs I've bought, and yes, I do use a torque wrench. I just bought some of the heat treated ones, and I'm hoping they work better, but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet.

i know! last time i ordered anything from 77mopeds, it took forever and was the wrong part. and then took forever to get it fixed. this time it went easy-peasy and i got extra goodies that i actually needed haha
