1924 JD flywheel within cases end play

[slamiste]

I've successfully assembled the flywheels yesterday and hope to install them in the cases tomorrow. The manual I have says the end play should be .003" This seems tight to me since I'm used to the 012" to 014" end play for mid 40's big twins. What do you experienced JD builders set the end play at?
