Try this.....You don't need to have the crank installed in the case to set the end play. It's easier to assemble the crank, bearing, shims, and flywheel on the bench and check the clearance with a feeler gauge there.

Did you remove the temper in the pushrod by heating it up to install the ends?

I set it to .005 last night. We did not heat our pushrods for installation. A local VW guy seems to think we should have.
