Take a cigarette pack and cut a piece 3/8" wide and 3" long then loosen the sensors and slide the card board in long ways threw the slot, then push the sensor up tight to the card board and tighten the sensor back down then pull the card board out and you will have the 25 tho you need. It works every time.
 

I heard rumour of a GN up in Canada that's gone 6.7 with stock junk and a few bolt ons that uses that method.

I need to learn to read....smh

Did you check the clearances to see if you had 0.025-0.030 inches between that side of the blade and the slot in the damper?  Damn sure iooks like it is rubbing!  That may be the source of the ticking there.

When you watch it at idle...be watching it when the engine is cranked and see if the crank moves in or out to that it then touches.  Thinking about a worn thrust bearing
I checked it with a home Depot gift card and it's a little thinner in size but I figured its a good start. Well the cards can't even slide through, there isn't enough room. I tested it with all three fins.

I set mine with a piece of a Coke can... which is slightly healthier than smoking.

Well guys, I took there adjusted the crank sensor with the aforementioned cigarette box method. I then went to start it up and it wont idle without shutting off. I can rev it a little bit to keep it from shutting down but of course the knocking sound it back. Still constant with RPM.

It is also smoking like crazy from the tail pipes. White smoke. lots of cloudy white smoke.

Call NASA and tell 'em to crank up the Hubble Space Telescope to search for your headgaskets orbiting the planet. That knocking sound you're hearing...that's consistent with RPM...mite be a rod bearing that's been pounded into tinfoil from KR.
