torque converter to fly wheal gap

I have searched and pro built said .08" - .12" was ideal before you tighten the torque converter. Mine is .13" will I be ok or should I get 3 .03" thickness washers use them as spacers then tighten up the torque converter

Re: torque converter to fly wheal gap

I have recommended .080" - .125" clearance. If you have .130", that is .005" over the recommendation, don't worry about it. If you already have the .030" washers, go ahead and add them.
