Ok I installed everything on the front besides the front cover and I replaced the needle bearings, I then used a feeler gauge to measure the play and got .020 what do I do next or can some figure this out for me and the spacer in it right now is a V spacer which is .3157... thanks

This could be a disaster waiting to happen...

Don't use a feeler gauge, use a dial indicator. Put the engine flywheel side down, tighten your front hub to spec and follow the instructions to set the clearance.

The spacers are as follows:

S 8.12 (0.3197)
T 8.10 (0.3189)
X 8.08 (0.3181)
K 8.06 (0.3173)
Y 8.04 (0.3165)
V 8.02 (0.3157)
Z 8.00 (0.3150)

The clearance should be

Standard: 0.0016 - 0.0028 (0.04 - 0.07)
Limits: 0.0035 (0.09)

I've seen the results of this not being set correctly. The bearing got chewed buy the engine, resulting in oil starvation. Spun both stationary gear bearings, ruinded the rotor bearings, eccentric, oil pump, etc. We had to disassemble the engine with pry bars and a torch.

i guess I will go buy a dial indicator today then but the front cover doesnt go on when your measuring end play does it
