Actually you don't need to change it, the thickness change is only around 1/8" and the spline/clutch takes care of any problems there.

Man!

Don't you need to change the back plate on the engine? Or maybe I'm incorrect but I thought there was a difference in backplates between a Rib Case and a Smoothcase. Someone who's done this please educate us.
