Re: BOP possibilities

For the first attempt at the shim, I just left the original bearing and shim in place. I haven't pulled the old bearing off yet to see what the shim thickness is. It took several attempts to get the back lash where it currently is at 0.009. It spins nicely:-)

It is my understanding that the BOP carrier breaks are 2.76/2.93 and 3.23/3.31, so I thought I did h...
