and the wear limit is; 0.50mm (0.02").

Should the numbers be:

Axial Play: 0.100mm (0.0039") - 0.350mm (0.0137")
Wear Limit: 0.500mm (0.0196")

At least according to my math: 0.100mm / 25.4mm/inch = 0.0039" (not the 0.0079 above; type-o?)

I will try to find another (earlier) source to see which number is correct (.1 or .0039). Those numbers came out of "Without Guesswork" and I should have known better...

Ball been hammer

(I'm in the midst of a valve adjustment and am poking around as I'm trying to track down a "hammering" type sound from the engine that's been there since I purchased the car about 5+ years ago).

Did you ever find the source of your noise? I have the same noise. Thanks
